Transformers are devices used to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another by means of electromagnetic induction. They consist of two coils wound around a magnetic core, the primary and the secondary, which are electrically isolated from each other. The turns ratio of a transformer is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil. It determines the voltage transformation ratio between the primary and secondary circuits.

The turns ratio is calculated by dividing the number of turns in the primary coil by the number of turns in the secondary coil. For example, if a transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil, the turns ratio is 10:1 (1000/100).

The turns ratio of a transformer is a fundamental parameter that determines the voltage transformation ratio. For an ideal transformer, the voltage transformation ratio is equal to the turns ratio. In other words, if the turns ratio is 10:1, the voltage in the secondary circuit will be one-tenth of the voltage in the primary circuit. For example, if the voltage in the primary circuit is 100 V, the voltage in the secondary circuit will be 10 V.

However, real-world transformers are not ideal and have losses due to various factors such as resistance, leakage inductance, and core losses. These losses affect the voltage transformation ratio and can cause a difference between the actual output voltage and the ideal output voltage predicted by the turns ratio. In summary, the turns ratio of a transformer is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil. It is calculated by dividing the number of turns in the primary coil by the number of turns in the secondary coil. The turns ratio determines the voltage transformation ratio between the primary and secondary circuits, but real-world transformers have losses that affect the actual output voltage.

The turns ratio is an important parameter in transformer design and operation. It is used to determine the voltage transformation ratio between the primary and secondary circuits, and it also affects other properties of the transformer such as impedance, current, and power. Transformers can have different turns ratios depending on the application and the required voltage transformation ratio. For example, step-up transformers have a higher turns ratio than step-down transformers.

The turns ratio can be measured experimentally using a transformer turns ratio tester. This device applies an AC voltage to the primary coil and measures the resulting voltage in the secondary coil, and calculates the turns ratio based on the measured voltages.

The turns ratio can also be calculated based on the physical dimensions and properties of the transformer.

The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils depends on the voltage and current ratings of the transformer, as well as the core material and geometry. The turns ratio can be calculated based on the physical dimensions and properties of the transformer using the following formula:

Turns Ratio = √(Inductance Ratio) = √(Impedance Ratio) = √(Voltage Ratio)

where Inductance Ratio = (Number of turns in primary coil)² / (Number of turns in secondary coil)², Impedance Ratio = (Number of turns in primary coil) / (Number of turns in secondary coil), and Voltage Ratio = (Voltage in secondary circuit) / (Voltage in primary circuit).

In conclusion, the turns ratio is a key parameter in transformer design and operation, and it can be measured experimentally or calculated based on the physical properties of the transformer.
