उत्तर
Principle: It is based on the principle of mutual induction, i.e., whenever the magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f is induced in the neighbouring coil.
Construction: A transformer consists of two sets of coils, primary P and secondary S, insulated from each other. Coil P is called the input coil, and coil S is called the output coil. The two coils are wound separately on a laminated soft iron core.
Working: When an alternating voltage is applied to the primary coil, the current through the coil goes on changing. Hence, the magnetic flux through the core also changes. As this changing magnetic flux is linked with both coils, an e.m.f. is induced in each coil. The amount of the magnetic flux linked with the coil depends upon the number of turns of the coil.
Let Φ be the magnetic flux linked per turn with both coils at a certain instant ‘t’. NP and NS be the number of turns of the primary and secondary coils, respectively.
Then at the instant t, the magnetic flux linked with the primary coil ΦP = NPΦ and with the secondary coil ΦS = NSΦ.
The induced emf in the primary and secondary coils will be:
ep = `-(d Phi_p)/(dt) = -N_p(d Phi)/(dt)` ...(1)
es = `-(d Phi_s)/(dt) = -N_s(d Phi)/(dt)` ...(2)
Dividing equation (2) by (1),
∴ `e_s/e_p = N_s/N_p` ...(3)
Equation (3) represents the equation of the transformer.
The ratio `N_s/N_p` is called the turns ratio (transformer ratio) of the transformer.
For an ideal transformer,
Input power = Output power
∴ ePIP = eSIS
∴ `e_s/e_p = I_p/I_s` ....(4)
From equations (3) and (4),
`e_s/e_p = N_s/N_p = I_p/I_s`

The teachers of Geeta’s school took the students on a study trip to a power generating station, located nearly 200 km away from the city. The teacher explained that electrical energy is transmitted over such a long distance to their city, in the form of alternating current (ac) raised to a high voltage. At the receiving end in the city, the voltage is reduced to operate the devices. As a result, the power loss is reduced. Geeta listened to the teacher and asked questions about how the ac is converted to a higher or lower voltage.
1) Name the device used to change the alternating voltage to a higher or lower value. State one cause for power dissipation in this device.
2) Explain with an example, how power loss is reduced if the energy is transmitted over long distances as an alternating current rather than a direct current.
3) Write two values each shown by the teachers and Geeta.
