For an ideal transformer, if Nₛ > Nₚ then ______.

Asked in GUJCET 2022 · Transformers

Answer: (2) Vₛ > Vₚ

Step-by-step solution

Idea: in an ideal transformer the same changing flux links every turn of both coils, so each turn has the same emf.

Hence (Vₛ)/(Vₚ) = (Nₛ)/(Nₚ).

With Nₛ > Nₚ this ratio is greater than 1, so Vₛ > Vₚ: a step-up transformer.

Why the other options are wrong
