A voltage is never applied to the secondary It can be used as a source but hen it becomes the primary by definition
When a current flow on a conductor , or load or resistor, some voltage will drop across that load or resistor.AnswerA voltage drop is the potential difference appearing across individual components in a circuit, necessary to drive current through those components. The sum of the individual voltage drops around a series circuit will equal the supply voltage applied to that circuit.
In a series circuit the total voltage is the sum of the voltage drops across all the component in series. When the voltage drops across each the individual components are added up, they will equal the supply (or applied) voltage.
Parallel circuit.
No. But bear in mind that, in the case of a.c. circuits, 'total', means the phasor (vectorial) sum of the voltage drops, NOT the algebraic sum.
With the minor voltage loss in the wiring, the voltage drop across a single appliance is the total voltage in the circuit, and doesn't change when more devices are added in parallel.
By connecting a voltmeter across the secondary terminals of the voltage/potential transformer. The transformer acts to reduce the voltage applied to its primary winding, while electrically-isolating the primary (usually high-voltage) circuit from the voltmeter.
Yes for a closed circuit
no
Voltage is impressed across a circuit. Current flows through a circuit.
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.

Ohm's law states that the current in a circuit is inversely proportional to the circuit resistance. There is a single path for current in a series circuit. The amount of current is determined by the total resistance of the circuit and the applied voltage.
* resistance increases voltage. Adding more resistance to a circuit will alter the circuit pathway(s) and that change will force a change in voltage, current or both. Adding resistance will affect circuit voltage and current differently depending on whether that resistance is added in series or parallel. (In the question asked, it was not specified.) For a series circuit with one or more resistors, adding resistance in series will reduce total current and will reduce the voltage drop across each existing resistor. (Less current through a resistor means less voltage drop across it.) Total voltage in the circuit will remain the same. (The rule being that the total applied voltage is said to be dropped or felt across the circuit as a whole.) And the sum of the voltage drops in a series circuit is equal to the applied voltage, of course. If resistance is added in parallel to a circuit with one existing circuit resistor, total current in the circuit will increase, and the voltage across the added resistor will be the same as it for the one existing resistor and will be equal to the applied voltage. (The rule being that if only one resistor is in a circuit, hooking another resistor in parallel will have no effect on the voltage drop across or current flow through that single original resistor.) Hooking another resistor across one resistor in a series circuit that has two or more existing resistors will result in an increase in total current in the circuit, an increase in the voltage drop across the other resistors in the circuit, and a decrease in the voltage drop across the resistor across which the newly added resistor has been connected. The newly added resistor will, of course, have the same voltage drop as the resistor across which it is connected.
The voltage measured across an open in a series circuit is the equivalent of the sourse voltage.
Yes, if there is a step up coil in the circuit. Coils can change voltage and amps in any given circuit. If the voltage is increased, than the amperage is decreased (or vice versa). This is how an ignition coil in a car works. A 14 volt auto electrical system can have 1000 volts across the spark plugs. Without a coil, I know of no other way voltage in any part of a circuit can be higher than applied voltage. A 1000V? TRY 30 KV TO 40 KV @80-100MW
See the related link for a circuit diagram. The diagram pretty well explains how it works also. A potential is applied across the potentiometer. A movable contact moves across the voltage developed across the fixed portion and picks off the desired voltage.
