Relative to the number of turns of a secondary winding of a step-up transformer, what will be the number of turns of a primary winding?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) the primary winding will have fewer turns than the secondary winding.
In a step-up transformer, the primary winding has fewer turns than the secondary winding. This is because the purpose of a step-up transformer is to increase the voltage from the primary to the secondary side. To achieve this, the secondary winding must have more turns than the primary winding, in order to generate a higher voltage.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) the primary and secondary windings do not have the same number of turns, C) the primary winding does not have twice as many turns as the secondary, and D) the primary winding has fewer turns, not more, than the secondary winding.
