Step 1
Mathematically, K = Np/Ns. Now, let's consider a step-down transformer. In a step-down transformer, the number of turns in the primary coil is greater than the number of turns in the secondary coil, i.e., Np > Ns. Show more…

What is the transformation ratio of a transformer having 40 turns on the secondary winding and 680 turns on the primary winding?

If the transformer described above is instead connected to a DC voltage source (like a battery) with the same voltage instead of the AC generator, what happens to the voltage across the secondary coil? The secondary coil voltage is now larger than before. The secondary coil voltage is now zero - no power is sent through the transformer. The secondary coil voltage is the same as it was with the AC generator. The secondary coil voltage is less than before (but not zero). The secondary coil voltage is now the same as the voltage across the primary coil.
