  It is you who will decide which will be primary and which will be secondary coil.
  If you want stepdown transformer, turns in primary are more than secondary and if you want stepup then vice versa.

  haha, theoretical world mate..😁
  
  In actual transformer, you cannot distinguish between primary & secondary winding just by looking at it.
  
  Here are 2 possible methods which I can think of now.
  
  Try checking the impedance of the windings. The high impedance one will certainly be primary & lower impedance one will be secondary.
  
  Other method, a little risky one, would be to apply input to one of the windings & check the output at the other. Depending on the type of transformer, you'll be able to determine the windings from the output obtained at the other terminal.

  this can be made harm free by applying little higher voltage and less current
  
  the current has to be reduced if higher voltage is used for the power rating of any transformer is constant and if this power rating is exceeded transformer will blow up
  
  try it and if voltage op is lesser then that is the primary side of step down transformer and vice versa

  primary wdg always connect with input source and secondary connect with load

  but the qn here is how to differentiate between them
