Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Ep = 2.2kV = 2200V; Es=110V; Ns=25; Np=?
=\(\frac{E_p}{E_s}\) = \(\frac{N_p}{N_s}\)
= \(\frac{2200}{110}\) = \(\frac{N_p}{25}\)
=110 × Np = 2200 × 25
=\(N_p\) = \(\frac{55,000}{110}\)
∴\(N_p\) = 500 turns
Ep = 2.2kV = 2200V; Es=110V; Ns=25; Np=?
=\(\frac{E_p}{E_s}\) = \(\frac{N_p}{N_s}\)
= \(\frac{2200}{110}\) = \(\frac{N_p}{25}\)
=110 × Np = 2200 × 25
=\(N_p\) = \(\frac{55,000}{110}\)
∴\(N_p\) = 500 turns
