  • Question
  • To step 110 V ac down to 20 V ac, the turns ratio must be


  • Options
  • A. 5.5
  • B. 18
  • C. 0.18
  • D. 0.018

  • Correct Answer
  • 0.18 

    Explanation
    Vp/Vs = Np/Ns

    Vs = (Ns/Np)Vp

    We required turns ratio i.e., (Ns/Np)

    = Vs/Vp

    = 20/110

    = 0.181818182

    [Note: p - primary; s - secondary]

    For step down transfer, the turns ratio will be less than 1.
