Revise: Transformer turns ratioA demonstration using 250-turn and 500-turn coils gives a voltage ratio of approximately 2:1, matching their turns ratio.
The number of turns on one transformer coil compared with the number on the other.
Paper 1, Paper 2
When explaining the relationship, state that the potential-difference ratio equals the turns ratio; do not merely say that more turns give more voltage.
