Step 1
1 of 2It is step-up transformer, as the number of turns in the secondary coil are higher than the primary coil the emf in the secondary coil will be higher than the primary coil. You can see this by interpreting transformer equation:
where, is induced emf in secondary
is number of turns in secondary
is number of turns in primary
is applied emf in primary
In our case, Thus,
