Answer

50 4.8 V

Work Step by Step

Use equation 21-6 to find the turns ratio. $$\frac{N_S}{N_P}=\frac{V_S}{V_P}$$ $$=\frac{12000V}{240V}=50$$ If the transformer were reversed, the secondary and primary would switch roles. Instead of stepping up the initial voltage by a factor of 12000V/240V, the transformer would step down the voltage by the same factor. $$V_{out}=(240V)\frac{240V}{12000V}=4.8V$$
