Transformer Coil Ratio vs Volt Ratio

If a secondary coil has 40 turns, and, a primary coil with 20 turns is charged with 50 V of potential difference, then potential difference in secondary coil would be

• 50 V in secondary coil
• 25 V in secondary coil
• 60 V in secondary coil
• 100 V in secondary coil
