422 turns in the secondary, is connected to a 220 V, 50 Hz sinusoidal
alternating network. Considering the ideal transformer calculate:

B) Is it a step-up or step-down transformer?
It is a step-up transformer because the number of secondary windings (N2) is
greater than the number of primary windings (N1).

EXERCISE 5. We want to transform the 230V of a modern installation into 127V

for an old receiver, for this we use a domestic step-down transformer.
A) What transformation ratio should we use?
