The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Step-Up Transformer**: A step-up transformer is a device that increases the voltage from the primary coil to the secondary coil. It operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. 2. **Identifying Coils**: In a transformer, there are two types of coils: the primary coil (input side) and the secondary coil (output side). 3. **Turns in Primary and Secondary Coils**: In a step-up transformer, the number of turns in the primary coil is less than that in the secondary coil. This is because the transformer is designed to increase voltage. 4. **Voltage Relationship**: The relationship between the number of turns and voltage in a transformer is given by the formula: \[ \frac{V_s}{V_p} = \frac{N_s}{N_p} \] where \(V_s\) is the voltage in the secondary coil, \(V_p\) is the voltage in the primary coil, \(N_s\) is the number of turns in the secondary coil, and \(N_p\) is the number of turns in the primary coil. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the step-up transformer increases voltage, it must have more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil. Therefore, the number of turns in the secondary coil is more. 6. **Final Answer**: The number of turns in the secondary coil of a step-up transformer is more. ---
