The turn ratio of a transformer is given as $2 : 3$. If the current through the primary coil is $3 \, A$,calculate the current through the load resistance (secondary coil). (in $, A$)

$A$ step-up transformer has $300$ turns of primary winding and $450$ turns of secondary winding. The primary is connected to $150 \ V$ and the current flowing through it is $9 \ A$. The current and voltage in the secondary are:

In a transformer,the number of turns in the primary coil and secondary coil are $5$ and $4$ respectively. If $240 \ V$ is applied to the primary coil,then the ratio of the current in the primary coil to the secondary coil is:
