I have attached the diagram of the autotransformer and also labelled the currents so that you guys can better understand my question. The question is why is the ratio of the primary and secondary winding currents slightly different to the ratio of the inverse of turns when ideally they should be equal.
Attempt to solution :
The ratio of the current in the primary and secondary winding is not slightly different that the ratio of the inverse of turns because of the magnetizing current. Even after the voltage at the primary winding is brought to zero, there will still be some current in the secondary core because it will still be magnetized.
