Q

What factors determine the no-load voltage ratio of a power transformer?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Ideal (no-load) transformer behavior – what quantities are directly linked when there is no load connected • Relationship between primary and secondary windings and how they affect induced voltage • How Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction relates voltage to the number of turns in a coil

💭 Think About

• In an ideal transformer at no load, which winding property directly controls the induced voltage in the other winding? • Think about what physical design feature of the transformer you choose when you design for a certain output voltage. • Which of the options is a cause, and which are effects or operating conditions (like power or power factor)?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is tied to the physical construction of the transformer windings, not operating conditions. • Ask: in the transformer equation for an ideal transformer, which ratio appears on the right-hand side of the voltage ratio equation? • Eliminate the choices that depend on how much current is drawn or what kind of load is connected, since this is a no-load condition.
