उत्तर
A transformer is a device by which the amplitude of an alternating e.m.f. can be increased or decreased.
For an ideal transformer, when there is no loss of energy, the output power is equal to input power i.e.,
Power in secondary coil = power in primary coil
ESLS = EPLS

A 100% efficient transformer has 100 turns in the primary and 50 turns in its secondary coil. If the current in the secondary coil is 6 A, then the current in the primary coil is ______.
A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a stepdown transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns. What should be the number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at 230 V?
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.
