The Transformer
Transformer is a device, which is used to increase or decrease the alternating voltage. The transformers are of the following types
(i) Step-up transformer (ii) Step-down transformer
Transformer is based upon the principle of mutual induction. It consists of two coils, primary coil `(p)` and secondary coil `(s)`, insulated from each other wounded on soft iron core.
Often the primary coil is the input coil and secondary coil is the output coil. These soft iron cores are laminated to minimise eddy current loss.
A power transmission line feeds input power at `2300 V` to a step-down transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns. What should be the number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at `230 V`?
Options:
(a) 600
(b) 550
(c) 400
(d) 375
