    N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

    Explanation:

    A transformer is a system that induces a voltage in the secondary due to the variation of voltage in the primary, the ratio of voltages is determined by the expression

    ΔV₂ = N₂ / N₁ ΔV₁

    where ΔV₂ and ΔV₁ are the voltage in the secondary and primary respectively and N is the number of windings on each side.

    In this case, they indicate that the primary voltage is 9.0 V and the secondary voltage is 120 V

    therefore we calculate the winding ratio

    ΔV₂ / ΔV₁ = N₂ / N₁

    N₂ / N₁ = 120/9

    N₂ / N₁ = 13.3

    s good clarify that in transformers the voltage must be alternating (AC)
