Primary and secondary are only terms of convenience based on the ratings and purpose of the transformer. If a transformer is labeled 120 to 240 volts, just pick a winding and apply 120 VAC. If the output is 240 volts you found the primary and secondary. If you apply 120 volts and get 60 volts out that means the side where you applied 120 VAC is the secondary.

What are the two coils in a transformer?
primary and secondary coilsAnswerPrimary and secondary windings.
What is the current in the secondary coil fi the current in the primary coil is 5.0A 10 loops on primary coil and 20 on secondary coil?
If I am not wrong then you have asked about a transformer. And its a current transformer. By theory of voltage transformer we know that Vs/Vp = Ns/Np So for answering your question we need the value of number of turns in primary and secondary coil. But you can use this equation to find your answer if you have other values. By using ohmic law you can convert voltage to current.
How does a power mat for an Android device work?
The primary coil is in the power mat while the secondary coil is in the Android device. Power goes from the primary coil to the secondary coil, which allows the phone to charge.
If the voltage in a transformer is twelve volts and the primary coil has ten turns and the secondary coil has twenty what is the voltage across the secondary coil?
I assume the primary has 12 volts applied. The voltage ratio from primary / secondary is equivalent to the turns ratio = 10/20, so the primary voltage is 1/2 of the secondary voltage. The secondary voltage is 24.
What is meant by a primary coil and a secondary coil?
In a transformer, the primary coil is the coil that has voltage applied to it. The secondary coil is the coil that we take voltage from. Transformers are used to step up voltage, step down voltage, or simply to isolate circuits.
Difference of step up and step down in terms of no of loops in the secondary coil?
If the primary coil has ten loops and the secondary coil has five loops then the secondary coil works as a 50% step down
Which device tranfers electrial energy from a primary coil to a secondary coil induction?
transformer
Which device transfers electrical energy from a primary coil to a secondary coil induction?
Tranaformer
Does the ratio of voltage in a primary coil to secondary coil depends on the turn of each coil?
Yes, although the question is poorly formed. The ratio of the voltage in the primary winding to the voltage in the secondary winding is the same as the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding. For example, if the primary had 1200 turns with the secondary having 120 turns, and the primary voltage was 50 volts, then the secondary would be 5 volts. This is a ratio of 10:1.
Is it true that electrical energy is converted to magnetic field energy in the secondary coil and magnetic field energy converted to electrical energy at the primary coil?
yes it is the primary coil being somthing such as a tubine, and the secondary the generator
When can be current in a primary coil induce a current in a secondary coil?
Secondary current = Primary current *(Number of secondary turns /Number of primary) turnsAnswerA current isn't 'induced' into the secondary winding of a transformer. It's a voltage that is induced into the secondary winding.Provided the secondary winding is connected to a load, the secondary voltage then supplies a secondary current which is determined from (Is = Vs/Rload). The primary current then depends upon the value of the secondary current and the turns ratio.
What is the difference between a secondary and primary coil?
The primary coil is the one with voltage applied, or the 'input'. The secondary coil is the one in which a voltage is induced by electromagnetism, or the 'output'. In a step up transformer, the secondary coil voltage is higher than the primary. In a step down transformer, the secondary coil voltage is lower than the primary. In an isolation transformer, the secondary coil voltage is the same as the primary. Here, the point of the transformer isn't to raise or lower voltage, but to keep a particular circuit electrically disconnected from another circuit, while still allowing the circuits to function together (through electromagnetism).
