Transformers
The transformer equation:

N1 V1
=
N 2 V1
Where:
• N1 = Number of turns on coil 1
• N2 = Number of turns on coil 2
• V1 = Voltage on coil 1
• V2 = Voltage on coil 2

1. A transformer has 100 turns on coil 1 and 200 turns on coil

2.
a. What will the voltage on coil 2 be if the voltage on coil
1 is
i. 10 volts?
ii. 200 volts?
iii. 1000 volts?
b. Is this a step up or step down transformer?
c. Would you expect to find a transformer like this
connecting a power station or home to the national
grid?
2. A transformer has 1000 turns on coil 1 and 600 turns on coil
2.
a. What will the voltage on coil 2 be if the voltage on coil
1 is
i. 240 volts?
ii. 10 volts?
b. Is this a step up or step down transformer?
c. Would you expect to find a transformer like this
connecting a power station or home to the national
grid?
