Question
State two factors on which the magnitude of an induced e.m.f. in the secondary coils of a transformer depends.

Solution
The magnitude of an induced e.m.f. in the secondary coil of a transformer depends on the following two factors:
- The ratio of the number of turns in the secondary coil to the number of turns in the primary coil.
- The magnitude of e.m.f. applied in the primary coil.
