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.
A transformer with a primary of 1200 turns and a secondary of 400 turns has what ratio?
A transformer primary of 1200 turns with a secondary of 400 turns is a ratio of 3 to 1.
What is the current in the secondary coil if current in primary is 5.0A?
It depends on the turns ratio between the primary and the secondary. If the ratio were 10:1, a step-down transformer, for instance, the current in the secondary would be about 50A. If it were 1:10, a step-up transformer, however, the current in the secondary would be about 0.5A.AnswerThe primary current doesn't determine the secondary current. The secondary current is entirely-dependent on the secondary voltage and the impedance of the load. It is this secondary current that the determines the primary current. So you should be asking, "What value of secondary current would result in a primary current of 5.0 A?"
How do you find secondary voltage with a ratio of 1 to 200?
If the primary is 1 and the secondary 200 then multiply the primary voltage by 200.
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 determines the voltage that is transferred from the primary to the secondary winding?
The turns ratio between the primary and the secondary.
How do you calculate primary current?
If it's a step up or step down transformer and you know the secondary side current, multiply the secondary current by the turns ratio. If you know the power in the secondary winding but not the current, divide the secondary power by the secondary voltage to get the secondary current and then multiply the secondary current by the turns ratio to get the primary current. The turns ratio is the number of turns on the secondary winding divided by the number of turns on the primary winding. For a step up transformer, the turns ratio will be greater then one. If it's a step down transformer, then the turns ratio will be less than one. If you don't know the turns ratio, divide the secondary voltage by the primary voltage to get the turns ratio.

Why should the secondary of a voltage transformer not be short circuited?
A voltage transformer takes a primary voltage and steps it down to a smaller secondary voltage. This type of transformer will attempt to keep the secondary voltage at a specific ratio of the primary voltage. If you short it, massive current flow in the secondary is required to do this. For a similar reason a CT should never be open circuited - because it attempts to push a specific ratio of primary current through the secondary. If you open circuit the secondary, it takes a massive voltage on the secondary to accomplish this.
How do you find secondary voltage with a ratio of 1 to 200?
If the primary is 1 and the secondary 200 then multiply the primary voltage by 200.
How many turns in secondary coil in Transformer?
It depends on the type of transformer.If it is a step up transformer the number of turns in secondary side is higher than primary.Stepdown means it will have fewer number of windings on the secondary side turns when compared with the primary side.An isolation transformer has the same number of windings on the primary as the secondary.The ratio of the windings is proportional to the increase or decrease in the secondary voltage. For example, twice the windings doubles the voltage and 1/2 the windings halves the secondary voltage. The isolation transformer is denoted as 1:1 and has the same voltage on the secondary as the primary.The ratio of secondary turns to primary turns is the same as the ratio of secondary voltage to primary voltage.e.g. if the secondary to primary turns ratio is 1/10, then the secondary voltage will be one tenth of the primary voltage.
Formula for relation between primary winding and secondary winding?
The turns ratio of Primary / Secondary tells you have the voltage and current will be changed. The secondary current will be (primary turns/secondary turns) times the primary current, and the secondary voltage will be (secondary turns / primary turns) times the primary voltage.CommentThe above answer is a little misleading, because the secondary current is determined by the load, and not by the transformer's ratio. It would, therefore, be more accurate to say that the primary current would be equal to the secondary current times the (primary turns/secondary turns) -i.e. not the other way around!
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 the definition of transformation ratio?
The turns ratio of a transformer is the number of primary turns to secondary turns. This defines how the transformer will change the voltage and current. For N1 primary turns, and N2 secondary turns, N1/N2 will be the turns ratio; the secondary voltage will be:the primary voltage x (N2/N1); The secondary current will be:primary current x (N1/N2)
