For the given circuit, comment on the type of transformer used.
(A)Step down transformer
(B)Auxilliary transformer
(C)Step- Up transformer✓ Correct
(D)Auto transformed
Answer: (C)
Solution
In the circuit diagram, the primary coil has more turns than the secondary coil (visible from the winding representation). For a transformer, the voltage ratio equals the turns ratio: VpVs=NpNs. Since Ns<Np, we have Vs<Vp, making this a step-down transformer. Answer: (A)
