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

Given:

Primary voltage, $V_p = 22\ \text{kV} = 22000\ \text{V}$

Secondary voltage, $V_s = 220\ \text{V}$

Primary turns, $N_p = 60000$

Using the transformer relation:

$\frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s}$

$\frac{22000}{220} = \frac{60000}{N_s}$

$100 = \frac{60000}{N_s}$

$N_s = \frac{60000}{100} = 600$

Answer: $N_s = 600$ turns
