Question 4 • TX-Physics B

Which is true of a step-down transformer but not a step-up transformer?

Answer
A
The core is made of copper and the coils are made of iron.
B
The core is made of iron and the coils are made of copper.
C
The primary winding has fewer coils than the secondary winding.
D
The primary winding has more coils than the secondary winding.

Explanation

A step-down transformer reduces voltage, so its secondary winding has fewer turns than its primary winding. Therefore, the primary winding has more coils than the secondary winding. A step-up transformer has the opposite arrangement, making D the correct choice.
