Question:

In a step-down transformer, 22 kV is converted into 220 V. The number of turns in the primary coil is 60000. The number of turns in the secondary coil will be

Options:

60000

6000

600

60

Correct Answer:

600

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → 600

For a transformer: $\frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p}$

Given: $V_p = 22\ \text{kV} = 22000\ \text{V}$, $V_s = 220\ \text{V}$, $N_p = 60000$

$N_s = N_p \frac{V_s}{V_p} = 60000 \cdot \frac{220}{22000} = 60000 \cdot 0.01 = 600$

Number of turns in the secondary coil = 600
