Answer

Since the supply voltage (220 V) is much higher than the required voltage (11 V), the student needs a step down transformer to reduce the voltage.

Given,

Ep = 220 V

Es = 11 V

Let number of turns at primary coil be Np and at secondary be Ns respectively.

Now,

Turn Ratio = NsNp=EsEp=11220=120\dfrac{Ns}{Np}=\dfrac{Es}{Ep}=\dfrac{11}{220}=\dfrac{1}{20}

Hence, recommended turn ratio should be 120\dfrac{1}{20}
