If the transformer has a step-up turns ratio (from primary to secondary)
then the resistance, inductive reactance and capacitive reactance connected
to the secondary (as measured at the primary) decrease as the square of the
turns ratio. Therefore effective capacitance measured at the primary
increases as the square of the turns ratio. For a step-down transformer the
effects are the opposite.

Is the value of a capacitor placed in series with the secondary of a
transformer multiplied (as viewed from the primary) by the turns ratio
or the square of the turns ratio?

Thanks,
