	Its a subtle point.
	The straight turns ratio, as others have noted, is a good
	teaching tool.  However it oversimplifies some aspects of
	real world transformer design.  These aspects, as covered
	by others, become significant when 'power' is involved.

	(Historical note:
	One of the things Tesla provided/sold to Westinghouse was
	the 'know how' to make transformer design more real world...)

	Certain simplifications take place in some training.
