If a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings, it is a step up transformer. If the secondary voltage is 25v, the primary voltage will be 5v, because the turns ratio is 20 to 100, or 1 to 5.

If a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings and the secondary voltage is 25 what is the primary voltage?
Transformer step-up/step-down voltage is turns-ratio, so if a transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings (a turns-ratio of 1 to 5) and the secondary voltage is 25, then is the primary voltage is 5.
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.
What is resistance between primary and secondary winding of transformer?
The primary and secondary windings of a mutual transformer are electrically isolated, and should have 'infinite' resistance between them when measured appropriately (which depends on voltage ratings of the windings).
How can you identify which one is step up or step down transformer?
A transformer has two windings, termed the 'primary winding' and the 'secondary winding'. The primary winding is the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is connected to the load. The secondary voltage of a 'step up' transformer is higher than the primary voltage; the secondary voltage of a 'step down' transformer is lower than the primary voltage. The simplest way to determine whether a transformer is a step up or step down, is to measure the primary and secondary voltages. If you are simply looking at a transformer, then the transformer's insulated bushings will give you a clue -the higher voltage bushings are much bigger than the lower voltage bushings. If you have access to the inside of the transformer, then the higher voltage windings are thinner and have a greater number of turns than the lower-voltage winding.
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).

If a step-up transformer is to increase voltage it needs?
A step-up transformer needs more turns on the secondary windings than on the primary windings to increase the voltage.

The primary and secondary windings of a mutual transformer are electrically isolated, and should have 'infinite' resistance between them when measured appropriately (which depends on voltage ratings of the windings).
How the secondary voltage in transformer is stepped up?
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.
How can you identify which one is step up or step down transformer?
A transformer has two windings, termed the 'primary winding' and the 'secondary winding'.

What is difference betweena step up transformer and step down transformer?
The difference between the two transformers is the coil ratios between the primary and secondary windings. A transformer that increases voltage from primary to secondary has more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns and is called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer with fewer secondary windings does just the opposite and is called a step-down transformer.
How can find the primary turns of the transformer knowing the primary voltage of the transformer?
The ratio of the primary voltage to the secondary voltage is proportional to the ratio of windings. So if the primary voltage is 120 volts and the secondary is 240 volts there are twice as many turns in the secondary.AnswerAs the previous answer says, you can work out the turns ratio of a transformer, but knowing the primary and secondary voltages will not help you determine how many turns are on each winding.
What is the difference between a secondary and primary coil?

How much is the secondry voltage vs with a primary voltage is vp equals 120v?
As far as a transformer is concerned, the secondary voltage Vs value cannot be determined by the primary voltage Vp alone. For the simplest of calculations the transformer primary-secondary turn ratio must be known. For an ideal transformer ( and practicaly ideal transformers don't exist as there will be various losses in the transformer cores and windings), the simple equation relating secondary voltage to primary voltage would be : Vs/Vp=Ns/Np=Ip/Is where Ns is the number of winding turns in the secondary of the transformer, and Np the primary. Ip is the primary current and Is the secondary.
