Question
This is an example of step-up transformer.
Solution
- A step-up transformer increases the output voltage by having more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil (Ns > Np).
- It is used in power transmission, X-ray machines, and microwave ovens to increase voltage while reducing current.
