V
V
Turns ratio (primary:secondary)
18.333 : 1
Type:Step-down

Calculation steps

  1. 1Turns ratio N1:N2 = V1:V2 = 220:12
  2. 2= 18.333 : 1
  3. 3e.g. if primary has 1000 turns, secondary needs 54.5 turns

Core relations (ideal transformer)

V1/V2 = N1/N2Voltage ∝ turns
I1/I2 = N2/N1Current ∝ inverse turns
P1 = P2Power conserved (ideal)
Step-downN1 > N2, e.g. 220V → 12V adapter
Step-upN1 < N2, e.g. grid 110kV → 220kV
Transformers only work on AC — electromagnetic induction needs a changing flux. High-voltage transmission cuts losses: for the same power, higher voltage means lower current, and line loss P = I²R shrinks quadratically. That is why grids step up to hundreds of kV for long distance.
