Electromagnetic induction
Electromagnetic induction
Generating current with changing magnetic field near wire
Transformer definition
Transformer definition
Device changing voltage via electromagnetic induction in AC
Why transformers need AC not DC
Why transformers need AC not DC
AC creates changing flux; DC flux constant, no induction
Soft iron core function
Soft iron core function
Increases magnetic flux linking the coils
Turns ratio formula
Turns ratio formula
Step-up transformer turns condition
Step-up transformer turns condition
(more turns on secondary)
Step-down transformer turns condition
Step-down transformer turns condition
(fewer turns on secondary)
Ideal transformer power equation
Ideal transformer power equation
or
Voltage steps up, current steps...
Voltage steps up, current steps...
Down proportionally (power conserved)
