Expert Solution
Step 1

SOLUTION :

Correct answer is The step-up transformer .

Correct Answer Explanation :

The Step-up transformer : Step-up transformers are used to balance the low voltage to the higher voltage in the transformers. They are used in electrical power transmission.

Wrong Answer Explanation :

The Auto transformer : Auto transformer is used to transform voltages when the primary to secondary ratio is close to unity.

The Step-down transformer : The step-down transformer is used to provide this low voltage value which is suitable for electronics supplying.

The High-tension transformer : The high-tension transformer is used to reduce high voltage values to lower safer values.
