Why do transformers only work with AC and not DC?

DC has constant field; no emf induced

If Australian mains supply is 230V RMS, what is the peak voltage? Use Vpeak=2×VrmsV_{\text{peak}} = \sqrt{2} \times V_{\text{rms}}

325V

What is the relationship between voltage, current and turns in a transformer?

VSVP=IPIS=NSNP\frac{V_S}{V_P} = \frac{I_P}{I_S} = \frac{N_S}{N_P}

In a step-up transformer, if NS>NPN_S > N_P, what happens to voltage and current?

VS>VPV_S > V_P and IS<IPI_S < I_P

Which application uses a step-down transformer?

Phone charger converting 230V to 5-12V

What is the frequency of Australian mains power supply?

50 Hz

A transformer has IP=5I_P = 5 A, IS=1I_S = 1 A, NP=10000N_P = 10000. Find NSN_S using IPIS=NSNP\frac{I_P}{I_S} = \frac{N_S}{N_P}

50000 turns

Why is high voltage used for electricity transmission over long distances?

Lower current reduces energy loss via I2RI^2R

What is the purpose of a laminated core in transformers?

Reduces eddy currents by restricting paths

For an ideal transformer, what is the power relationship between primary and secondary?

VPIP=VSISV_P I_P = V_S I_S (power in = power out)
