The maximum secondary coil voltage is determined by the turns ratio between the primary and secondary coils in a transformer and the input voltage applied to the primary coil. It can be calculated using the formula: V_secondary = V_primary * (N_secondary / N_primary), where V is voltage and N is the number of turns in each 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.
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.
The output voltage in the secondary coil would be increased. Using the transformer formula Vp/Vs = Np/Ns (where Vp = primary voltage, Vs = secondary voltage, Np = number of turns in primary coil, Ns = number of turns in secondary coil), we can calculate the output voltage to be 160 volts (40V * 100/25).
The secondary voltage in a transformer is stepped up by having more turns in the secondary coil compared to the primary coil. This creates a higher electromagnetic induction which leads to a higher output voltage. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil determines the degree of voltage stepping up.
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).
A step-up transformer increases the voltage of an electrical current by having more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil. This causes the magnetic field to induce a higher voltage in the secondary coil, resulting in an increase in voltage.
