The turns ratio is the number of turns in the secondary coil divided by the number of turns in the primary coil. In this case, the turns ratio is 1:4, which means that the secondary coil has 4 times as many turns as the primary coil.<\/p>\n<p>The peak voltage of a sine wave is equal to $\\sqrt{2}$ times the RMS voltage.
