In an ideal transformer, the ratio of secondary to primary voltage equals:

Answer: Ns/Np.

  • A Ns/Np
  • B Np/Ns
  • C the product Ns·Np
  • D the difference Ns − Np

Correct answer: A. Ns/Np

Explanation: Vs/Vp = Ns/Np, the ratio of the numbers of turns.

EMF is Induced Only While Flux is ChangingΦmagnet approachingmagnet stationary inside coilEMFEMF ≠ 0 (flux changing)EMF = 0 (flux constant)t

As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.

Concept context

Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
