The number of turns or windings of a transformer can vary. There can be more in the primary, or more in the secondary, or there can be an equal number in a transformer that is simply used for isolation (an isoformer). More turns in the primary than secondary will create a step down transformer. More turns in the secondary are found in a step up transformer. The Transformers on power poles have more turns in the primary to step the line voltage down for delivery to residential customers.

A stepup transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil If the primary voltage is 120 volts what will be the secondary voltage?
A step-up transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil. If there is 120 volts and 10 amps on the primary, what will be the current in the secondary? 2 amps.600v 2A
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.
A step-up transformer has 300 turns on the primary coil and 90000 turns on the secondary coil if the current flowing through the secondary is 5 amps what is the current flowing in the primary?
If a step-up transformer has 200 turns on the primary coil and 3000 turns on the secondary coil, with a primary coil voltage of 90 volts and current of 30 amps, then the turns ratio is 200:3000, so the secondary voltage is 1350 voltage and the available current is 2 amps. (This ignores losses through the transformer.)
What is the current in the secondary coil fi the current in the primary coil is 5.0A 10 loops on primary coil and 20 on secondary coil?
If I am not wrong then you have asked about a transformer. And its a current transformer. By theory of voltage transformer we know that Vs/Vp = Ns/Np So for answering your question we need the value of number of turns in primary and secondary coil. But you can use this equation to find your answer if you have other values. By using ohmic law you can convert voltage to current.
If a transformer has 1000 turns of wire in the primary coil and 50 turns in the secondary coil if the input voltage is 2400 V what is the output voltage?
120 v
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.
What is the number of turns in primary and secondary coil for 12 volt battery charger with 220 volt power supply?

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.
When can be current in a primary coil induce a current in a secondary coil?
Secondary current = Primary current *(Number of secondary turns /Number of primary) turnsAnswerA current isn't 'induced' into the secondary winding of a transformer. It's a voltage that is induced into the secondary winding.Provided the secondary winding is connected to a load, the secondary voltage then supplies a secondary current which is determined from (Is = Vs/Rload). The primary current then depends upon the value of the secondary current and the turns ratio.
A transformer is used to step down a voltage of 11kv to 220 volts. Given that the primary coil has 3200 turns what is the number of turns on the secondary coil?
Your 11 kv to 220 volts represents a 50 to 1 stepdown. (There is 50 times more voltage in the primary than in the secondary.) You'll have to have a 50 to 1 turns ratio. That means 1/50 of the number of turns in the primary will be in the secondary, and that is 64 turns.
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.
How do you work out the secondary voltage in a transformer?
The voltage ratio is the same as the turns ratio for an ideal transformer, and most transformers are close to being ideal. So use the following equation:Vs/Vp = Ns/Np
What coil will be greater if the primary coil of a transformer has 40 turns and the secondary coil has 60 turns?
The voltage ratio is 2:3. So for every 2 volts in you'll get 3 volts out. Secondary = 1.5 x Primary Voltage.
If the number of turns in the primary side of the transformer is 200 and the number of turns in the secondary coil is 100 what is the ratio?
If the number of turns in the primary side of the transformer is 200 and the number of turns in the secondary coil is 100, the turns ratio is 200 to 100, or 2 to 1. This application would be a step-down transformer, reducing voltage by one half and doubling current.
A step up transformer has 300 turns on its primary coil and 90 000 turns on its secondary coil If the current flowing through the secondary is .5 amps What is the current flowing in the primary?
1500A. You probably have pri / secondary confused. primary is usually used to denote the higher voltage winding, which will have more turns than the secondary. The secondary will have lower voltage, less turns, but will carry more current.
A stepup transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil If the primary voltage is 120 volts what will be the secondary voltage?
A step-up transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and 500 turns on the secondary coil. If there is 120 volts and 10 amps on the primary, what will be the current in the secondary? 2 amps.600v 2A
