Solution
No. of turns in primary coil Np =800
No. of turns in secondary coil Np=8.
Input supply voltage Ep = 220 V.
`E_p/E_s = N_p / N_s`
`E_s = (N_sxx E_p)/N_p = (8 xx 220)/ 800`
`E_s = 2.2 V.`

Explain the construction and working of the transformer.
A group of students while coming from the school noticed a box marked "Danger H.T. 2200 V" at a substation in the main street. They did not understand the utility of a such a high voltage, while they argued, the supply was only 220 V. They asked their teacher this question the next day. The teacher thought it to be an important question and therefore explained to the whole class.

A transformer can step up direct current.
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.
The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transformer is 2000 and 50 respectively. The primary coil is connected to a main supply of 120 V and secondary coil is connected to a bulb of resistance 0.6 Ω.
