A transformer is used to produce a mains voltage of 230V for a house. There are 2000 turns on the primary coil and 20 turns on the secondary
coil. What voltage must the power lines have supplied to this transformer?

Answer:

2.3 volts

Explanation:

The transformer turns ration is calculated by dividing the number of turns in the primary coil by the number of turns in the secondary coil.

Mathematically;  

[tex]T_r=N_p/N_s[/tex]

This ratio is equal to voltage of primary winding divided by the voltage of the secondary winding. i.e. [tex]V_p/V_s[/tex]

This means you can combine the two equations as;

[tex]T_r=\frac{N_p}{N_s} =\frac{V_p}{V_s}[/tex]

Given that;

[tex]V_p=230V\\N_p=2000\\N_s=20\\V_s=?[/tex]

Substitute the values in the equation as;

2000/20 =230/Vs

Vs=230/100

Vs=2.3 v
