Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a step-up transformer?
the primary voltage is higher than the secondary voltage
has more turns in the secondary winding than in the primary winding
increases voltage
the secondary voltage is higher than the primary voltage
Detailed Explanation
As their names indicate, a step-up transformer is used to step up or increase voltage and a step-down transformer is used to step down or decrease voltage. In a step-up transformer, the secondary voltage is higher than the primary voltage and it has more turns in the secondary winding than in the primary winding.
