Neon signs require about 12,000 volts to operate. If the circuit uses a 120-volt power source, the ratio of primary to secondary turns on the transformer should be
A) 100:1.
B) 1:100.
C) neither of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The transformer needs to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 12,000 volts. The ratio of the transformer turns should be 1:100 to increase the voltage by a factor of 100.
