When a transformer is used to step down voltage, what statement is true?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — The low voltage winding is the secondary coil.
Step-down transformers reduce voltage by having fewer turns on the output side. Consequently, the low voltage winding functions as the secondary coil, delivering increased current at a lower potential in accordance with transformer design laws.
