Question
You need to build a transformer that can step the emf up from 120 $\mathrm{V}$ to $12,000 \mathrm{V}$ to operate a neon sign for a restaurant. What will be the ratio of the secondary to primary turns of this transformer?

A neon sign that requires a voltage of $11,000 \mathrm{V}$ is plugged into a 120-$\mathrm{V}$wall outlet. What turns ratio (secondary/primary) must a transformer have to power the sign?
A neon sign that requires a voltage of $11,000 \mathrm{V}$ is plugged into a $120-\mathrm{V}$ wall outlet. What turns ratio (secondary/primary) must a transformer have to power the sign?
(I) Neon signs require 12 kV for their operation. To operate from a 240-V line, what must be the ratio of secondary to primary turns of the transformer? What would the voltage output be if the transformer were connected in reverse?
