Solution
Given: Ep = 220 V, Es = ?, Np = 800 turns and Ns = 8 turns
In a transformer, `"E"_"s"/"E"_"p" = "N"_"s"/"N"_"p"`
`"E"_"s" = "N"_"s"/"N"_"p" × "E"_"P"`
= `8/800 × 200`
= `220/100`
= 2.2 volt

A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
