⚡ Enter ArenaA transformer has a primary and secondary coil. If the secondary coil has significantly more turns than the primary, which consequence regarding the inductance and voltage appears?
A)Decreased secondary voltage, increased primary inductance
B)Increased secondary voltage, increased secondary inductance✓
C)Increased primary voltage, decreased secondary inductance
D)Decreased primary voltage, decreased primary inductance
💡 Explanation
The secondary coil’s voltage increases proportionally to the turns ratio because of Faraday's law of induction and the increased magnetic flux linkage. Consequently, the secondary inductance also rises; therefore, the correct answer is increased secondary voltage and inductance, rather than decreased voltage and inductance.
