Verified
A transformer has a 2:1 turns ratio. 120 V is applied to the primary. What is the secondary voltage?
A) 24 V
B) 60 V
C) 120 V
D) 600 V
Turns Ratio
The ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding of a transformer as compared to the turns of wire in the secondary winding.
Secondary Voltage
The output voltage of a transformer or another type of electrical machine, which is induced by the primary voltage.
Primary
In electrical systems, the initial or main input side of a transformer or circuit.
- Identify the operational characteristics of transformers, including voltage, current, and turns ratio calculations.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The secondary voltage can be calculated using the turns ratio, which is 2:1 in this case. This means the secondary voltage will be half of the primary voltage. Therefore, if 120 V is applied to the primary, the secondary voltage will be 120 V / 2 = 60 V.
