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 the 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 `phi` be the magnetic flux linked per turn with both the 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 primary coil `phi_P = N_P phi` and with secondary coil `phi_S = N_S phi`.

The induced emf in primary and secondary coil will be

`e_p = -(dphi_p)/(dt) = -N_p(dphi)/(dt)`  ....(1)

`e_s = -(dphi_s)/(dt) = -N_s(dphi)/(dt)`  ....(2)

Dividing equation (2) by (1),

∴ `e_s/e_p = N_s/N_p`  ....(3)

Equation (3) represents equation of 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 equation (3) and (4),

`e_s/e_p = N_s/N_p = I_p/I_s`

Write the function of a transformer.


A group of students while coming from the school noticed a box marked "Danger H.T. 2200 V" at a substation in the main street. They did not understand the utility of a such a high voltage, while they argued, the supply was only 220 V. They asked their teacher this question the next day. The teacher thought it to be an important question and therefore explained to the whole class.

Answer the following questions:

(i) What device is used to bring the high voltage down to low voltage of a.c. current and what is the principle of its working ?

(ii) Is it possible to use this device for bringing down the high dc voltage to the low voltage? Explain

(iii) Write the values displayed by the students and the teacher.

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.
