In order to determine the output voltage of a transformer, you need to specify the turns ratio between primary and secondary. You did not do that, nor did you provide any other information that could be used to deduce the output, so only a general answer can be given.
The output voltage of each secondary is 10 volts (the input voltage) times the number of turns on the primary divided by the number of turns on the secondary. If, for instance, the ratio was 1:3, then the output would be 30 volts. Since there are two secondary windings, this calculation is performed independently for each secondary.

∙ 11y agoI assume that you are talking about 'turns', rather than 'coils', as a coil is made up of turns.
Theoretically, if the turns ratio between the two coils (or windings) is 10:2, then the secondary voltage will be 24 V. I say, 'theoretically', because it is highly-unlikely that you will have a transformer with so few turns.

What type of voltage is passed trough a transformer?
Voltage doesn't 'pass through' anything! Voltage is another word for 'potential difference', and is measured between two points in a circuit. For a transformer to work, it's necessary to apply an a.c. voltage across the transformer's primary terminals.
Difference between input and output transformer?
The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding. So if, for example, a transformer's secondary winding has twice as many turns as its primary winding, then the secondary winding will produce twice the voltage applied to the primary winding.
How do you find the secondary to primary transformer voltage ratio?
Turns Ratio = (Primary turns / Secondary turns) To calculate the turns ratio you have to actually know the number of turns or wraps on the primary and secondary coils. Nobody knows that usually the manufacture of the transformer doesn't even know. So what you can use as and equivalent is to calculate the voltage ratio. So what you typically need to look for is the Input voltage and divid it by the output volatge. Usually that would be as follows; (Primary Voltage/Secondary Voltage) = Voltage Ratio
Does the transformer require exactly 230V as an input supply else can we use 50V as the input for it?
You can apply a lower-than-rated voltage to the primary winding of a transformer, and the secondary winding will then alter by the same proportion. So, for example, for a step-down transformer, if a 230-V primary voltage results in, say, a 115-V secondary voltage, then applying a 50-V primary voltage will result in a 25-V secondary voltage.
What causes maximum secondary coil voltage?
I would hazard a guess and say that it is a bad coil.
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).

What is the set up for a transformer that decreases the voltage on the out put side?
A basic, two-winding, transformer consists of two, separate, coils (called windings) wound around a laminated silicon-steel core. The winding connected to the supply (input) is called the primary winding, and the winding supplying the load is called the secondary winding. Alternating current flowing in the primary winding sets up an alternating magnetic field in the core which induces a voltage into the secondary winding. If there are fewer turns in the secondary winding, then the secondary voltage is lower than the primary voltage. If there are more turns in the secondary winding, then the secondary voltage is higher than the primary voltage.
How do you calculate input voltage of a transformer given both side high and low side impedances and also load with power factor?
The input voltage (primary) and output (secondary) of a transformer is determined by the manufacturer. Transformers are bought to accommodate the voltage that is needed on the primary side and to what voltage is needed on the secondary side.
Difference between input and output transformer?
The 'input' side of a transformer is called its 'primary' side, whereas the 'output' side is termed its 'secondary' side. The ratio of its secondary to primary voltage is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary windings to the number of turns in the primary winding. So if, for example, a transformer's secondary winding has twice as many turns as its primary winding, then the secondary winding will produce twice the voltage applied to the primary winding.

What is the point of a step up transformer?
A 'step-up' transformer is a transformer with more turns on its secondary winding than on its primary winding. It's secondary (output) voltage is, therefore, higher than its primary (input) voltage.
