Set the Turns, Set the Voltage

A transformer changes the size of an alternating voltage. Two coils sit on an iron core: the input (primary) and the output (secondary). The output voltage depends only on the ratio of the turns. More turns on the secondary steps the voltage up; fewer turns steps it down. This is how a phone charger turns 230 V into a safe few volts. Hit the target output voltage.

Mission Choose the turns to get an output of 24 V. Round 1 Streak 0 Best 0

Vₛ = Vₚ × Nₛ ÷ Nₚ = 12 × 200 ÷ 200 = 12 V
