Question 8 • TX-Physics CR

In a step-down transformer, which describes the primary winding compared with the secondary winding?

Answer
A
higher voltage and fewer coils of wire
B
higher voltage and more coils of wire
C
lower voltage and fewer coils of wire
D
lower voltage and more coils of wire

Explanation

A step-down transformer reduces voltage from the primary winding to the secondary winding. In a transformer, the winding with more turns has the higher voltage, so the primary has higher voltage and more coils of wire than the secondary. That matches “higher voltage and more coils of wire.”
