Should this have the knowledge tag?

@maxathousand - I think the Physics tag covers the needed knowledge (school level). This physicist has been awarded the highest honours.

Spin it just means it needs to be changing, maybe a better wording would be update it. (This was understood by earlier answers.)

I'm going to go with
D. V. Nanopoulos
because...
A step-up transformer outputs a larger voltage than it receives. With coil ratio 1:5, this amounts to five times the input voltage (methinks?).
C is the Roman numeral for 100, so CV is a 100 volts. Output is then 500 volts, or DV.
D.V. Nanopoulos is a physicist whose initials are DV.

It was interesting reading about Professor Nanopoulos for the first time. This answer stepped-up well.

This answer is distingushed, but some extra physics will lead to a famous physicist.

Is the answer
Nikola Tesla? That looks a lot like a recipe for a tesla coil

After the newly added hint I am going to guess the Physicist is...
Edwin Hall
Reference
You mention the symbol Ω which is the symbol for an ohm which was first conceptualized by the german physicist Georg Ohm. But I thought this was too easy and I learned that, "today the definition of the ohm is expressed from the Quantum Hall effect." This pointed me to the man who first discovered this effect Edwin Hall.
Just a guess though as my physics knowledge doesn't extend past high school

+1 for the education. It may shock some that I once taught high school Physics (not my main subject). I didn't know this though vaguely remember hearing of the Hall effect.
