An engineer in India (standard household voltage = 220 volts) is designing a transformer for use on her

upcoming trip to Canada (standard household voltage = 120 volts). If her input coil has 240 turns, how many
turns should her output coil have?

he should a step-up transformer with k=220/120=1.83 so output coil must have 240*1.83=440 turns
