The number of coils is #=80# coils

Explanation:

The equation for a transformer is

#V_s/V_p=n_s/n_p#

The secondary voltage is #V_s=10000V#

The primary voltage is #V_p=25000V#

This is a step-down transformer.

The number of coils in the primary windings #n_p=200#

The number of coils in the secondary windings is

#n_s=V_s/V_p*n_p#

#=10000/25000*200=80# coils

80 turns

Explanation:

#(V_s)/(V_p) = N_s/N_p#
where:
#V_s# = Voltage of secondary coil
#V_p# = Voltage of primary coil
#N_s# = Turns at secondary coil
#N_p# = Turns at primary coil

Therefore:
#10000/25000 = N_s/200#
#N_s = 80# turns of wire
