Answer:
[tex]N_P = 40\ N_S[/tex]
To reduce the output voltage to 6v in transformers if the input voltage is 240v, we need to have 40 times as many turns in the primary coil as there are in the secondary coil.
Explanation:
The change in voltage of a transformer depends upon the turns ratio of the transformer between secondary and primary coil. Following formula can be used to determine the turns ratio in this case:
[tex]\frac{N_P}{N_S} = \frac{V_P}{V_S} \\\\[/tex]
where,
[tex]N_P[/tex] = No. of turns in the primary coil
[tex]N_S[/tex] = No. of turns in the secondary coil
[tex]V_P[/tex] = voltage in the primary coil = 240 V
[tex]V_S[/tex] = voltage in the secondary coil = 6 V
Therefore,
[tex]\frac{N_P}{N_S} = \frac{240\ V}{6\ V} \\\\N_P = 40\ N_S[/tex]
To reduce the output voltage to 6v in transformers if the input voltage is 240v, we need to have 40 times as many turns in the primary coil as there are in the secondary coil.
