What is the output voltage if an input signal is applied to the secondary winding of a 4:1 voltage step-down transformer instead of the primary winding?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: A. The input voltage is multiplied by 4
Feeding a 4:1 step-down transformer backwards makes it a 1:4 step-up transformer. The input voltage is multiplied by 4.
Tip: Backwards step-down = step-up.
