Options:
  • A current through its secondary is about four times that of the current through its primary.
  • B voltage across its secondary is about four times that of the voltage across its primary.
  • C voltage across its secondary is about two times that of the voltage across the primary.
  • D voltage across its secondary is about 122 times of the voltage across its primary.

The correct answer is: current through its secondary is about four times that of the current through its primary.
In a transformer the primary and secondary currents are related by

Is=NpNsIp

And the voltage are related by

Vs=NsNpVp

Where subscripts p and s refer to the primary and secondary of the transformer.

Here, Vp=V,NpNs=4

Is=4Ip

And Vs=14V=V4
