Takeaways

• 😀 A transformer is an electrical component that changes voltage, with two main types: step-up and step-down transformers.
• 😀 Step-up transformers increase voltage by having more turns in the primary coil compared to the secondary coil.
• 😀 Step-down transformers decrease voltage, where the primary voltage is higher and reduced in the secondary coil.
• 😀 Transformers used by PLN (electricity providers) often use step-up transformers to raise voltage for transmission over long distances.
• 😀 Transformer efficiency is determined by comparing output power (secondary) to input power (primary), expressed as a percentage.
• 😀 Inductance is a property that indicates how much magnetic energy an inductor can store when current flows through it.
• 😀 Self-inductance occurs when a change in current induces a magnetic flux that opposes the current change, slowing it down.
• 😀 Mutual inductance happens when changing current in one coil induces a voltage in another coil, as seen in transformers.
• 😀 The energy stored in a magnetic field can be calculated using formulas from Kirchhoff’s law and the relationship between voltage, current, and time.
• 😀 The energy stored in a solenoid's magnetic field is derived from the potential energy formula, where energy is proportional to the square of the current.
• 😀 A sample calculation for transformer efficiency and current in the secondary coil is shown using given voltage and current values.

Q & A

What is a transformer and what are its main functions?

A transformer is an electrical component used to change voltage levels. It works by having two coils—primary and secondary—through which electrical energy is transferred. The main functions are to either increase or decrease the voltage depending on whether it is a step-up or step-down transformer.

What is the difference between a step-up and a step-down transformer?

A step-up transformer increases the voltage, where the primary coil has more turns than the secondary coil. A step-down transformer decreases the voltage, where the primary voltage is higher than the secondary voltage, and the number of turns in the primary coil is fewer than in the secondary coil.

How is the efficiency of a transformer calculated?

The efficiency of a transformer is calculated as the ratio of the output power (secondary power) to the input power (primary power). The formula is: Efficiency (η) = (P_secondary / P_primary) * 100%.

What is inductance and how does it work?

Inductance is the property of a coil (inductor) that measures how much magnetic energy it can store when current flows through it. It resists changes in current and is characterized by self-inductance (when current in a coil changes) and mutual inductance (when a changing current in one coil induces a voltage in another).

What is self-inductance?

Self-inductance occurs when the change in current through a coil creates a back electromotive force (EMF) that opposes the change in current. This property tends to resist changes in the current through the coil.

What is mutual inductance?

Mutual inductance occurs when a changing current in one coil induces a voltage in another coil. This happens in systems like transformers where two coils are electromagnetically linked.

What is the formula for calculating self-inductance?

The formula for calculating self-inductance is L = (N² * μ₀ * A) / l, where L is inductance, N is the number of turns in the coil, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, A is the cross-sectional area of the coil, and l is the length of the coil.

What happens when current flows through a conductor in terms of magnetic fields?

When current flows through a conductor, it generates a magnetic field around the conductor. This magnetic field can influence nearby objects and be used to store energy or generate mechanical movement, as seen in devices like solenoids.

How is energy stored in the magnetic field of a coil?

The energy stored in the magnetic field of a coil is given by the formula E = (1/2) L I², where E is the energy stored, L is the inductance of the coil, and I is the current passing through the coil.

What is the formula used to calculate the secondary current in a transformer based on efficiency?

The formula used to calculate the secondary current is based on the efficiency equation η = (P_secondary / P_primary) * 100%. By relating the power to voltage and current, the secondary current can be calculated from the primary current and the voltage ratios.
