State the principle of the step-down transformer and its working.

उत्तर
Principle: A transformer is based on the principle of electromagnetic mutual induction, i.e., whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the neighboring coil.
Working
Alternating emf is supplied to the primary coil PP’. The resulting current induces a current in the secondary coil.
Magnetic flux linked with primary is also linked with the secondary. The induced emf in each turn of the secondary is equal to that induced in each turn of the primary.
Let
EP − Alternating emf applied to primary
nP − Number of turns in the primary
`(dphi)/dt-"Rate of change of flux through each turn of primary coil"`
`:.E_p=-n_p (dphi)/dt" ......(1)"`
Es− Alternating emf of secondary
ns − Number of turns in secondary
`:.E_s=-n_s (dphi)/dt" ....(2)"`
Dividing equation (2) by (1),
`E_s/E_p=n_s/n_p=k`
For step-up transformer, K > 1
∴ Es > Ep
For step-down transformer, K < 1
∴ Es < Ep

Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
We need to step-up the voltage for power transmission, so that ______.
A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
