D) outputs less voltage than at the input.
E) increases the voltage but does not affect the current.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the number of turns on the input is greater than the number on the output, the transformer is stepping down the voltage. This means the output voltage will be less than the input voltage. However, the transformer can increase or decrease the current depending on the impedance ratio of the input and output circuits.
