A step up transformer used in an automobile has a potential difference across the primary of 2200 V and a potential difference across the secondary of 25 V. What is the ratio of the numbers of turns of wire on the primary to the secondary?

To find the ratio of the numbers of turns of wire on the primary (Nā) to the secondary (Nā), we can use the formula:
Vā/Vā = Nā/Nā
Where:
Vā = Potential difference across the primary (2200 V)
Vā = Potential difference across the secondary (25 V)
By rearranging the formula, we can solve for the ratio:
Nā/Nā = Vā/Vā
Substituting the given values:
Nā/Nā = 2200/25
Calculating:
Nā/Nā = 88
Therefore, the ratio of the number of turns of wire on the primary to the secondary is 88.
