Answer:

A). Primary coil

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that in an ideal transformer the flux linked with primary coil and secondary coil for each turn must be same

so we can say that


\phi _p = N_p \phi_0


\phi_s = N_s\phi_0

so as per faraday's law we can say that two EMF is given as


E_s = N_s(d\phi_0)/(dt)


E_p = N_pfrac{d\phi_0}{dt}

now we have


(E_s)/(E_p) = (N_s)/(N_p)

so we can say that

for step down transformer the output voltage is less than the input transformer


E_s < E_p

so we will have


N_s < N_p

so turns will be more in

A) Primary coil

A step-down transformer has more loops in : A. Primary coil

Primary coil refers to the coil to which alternating voltage is supplied. It's usually connected to the AC supply

hope this helps
