Q & A

What is the primary function of a transformer?

The primary function of a transformer is to change the voltage levels in an electrical circuit, either increasing (step-up) or decreasing (step-down) the voltage.

What distinguishes a step-up transformer from a step-down transformer?

A step-up transformer has fewer turns of wire in the primary coil compared to the secondary coil, resulting in an increase in voltage. In contrast, a step-down transformer has more turns in the primary coil than in the secondary coil, resulting in a decrease in voltage.

What are the main components of a transformer?

The main components of a transformer are the magnetic core, the primary winding (coil), and the secondary winding (coil).

How does an AC voltage in the primary winding affect the transformer?

When an AC voltage is applied to the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field in the core, which induces a voltage in the secondary winding through electromagnetic induction.

What formula is used to calculate the relationship between primary and secondary voltage in a transformer?

The relationship is given by the formula: Vp/Vs = Np/Ns, where Vp is the primary voltage, Vs is the secondary voltage, Np is the number of turns in the primary winding, and Ns is the number of turns in the secondary winding.

If a step-down transformer has a primary voltage of 220V and a secondary voltage of 110V, what can be inferred about the number of turns in the windings?

Since the transformer is a step-down transformer with a lower secondary voltage, it indicates that the primary winding has more turns than the secondary winding.

In the example provided in the video, if the primary winding has 1500 turns and the primary voltage is 220V, how many turns does the secondary winding have if the secondary voltage is 110V?

The secondary winding has 750 turns, calculated using the transformer formula.

What is the significance of the magnetic core in a transformer?

The magnetic core enhances the efficiency of the transformer by providing a path for the magnetic flux and concentrating the magnetic field, which increases the induction between the primary and secondary windings.

What happens to the voltage if the number of turns in the primary winding is increased while keeping the secondary turns constant?

If the number of turns in the primary winding is increased while the secondary turns remain constant, the output voltage of the transformer will increase, resulting in a higher voltage at the secondary winding.

How can one determine the output voltage of a transformer if the primary voltage and the number of turns in the windings are known?

The output voltage can be determined using the transformer ratio formula, rearranging it to find Vs = Vp * (Ns/Np), where Vs is the secondary voltage, Vp is the primary voltage, and Ns and Np are the respective number of turns in the secondary and primary windings.
