उत्तर

Construction: It consists of two coils of primary and secondary coils insulated from each other and wound on a soft iron core as shown in fig. (a). Input is applied across the primary coil, and output is taken across the secondary coil.

Notations:

P1, P2: Primary coil

S1, S2: Secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

  1. Step-up transformer: In this, the number of turns in the primary coil is less than the number of turns in the secondary coil. The primary coil is made up of thick wire, and the secondary coil is made up of thin wire.
  2. Step-down transformer: Here the number of turns in the primary coil is greater than that in the secondary coil. The secondary coil is made up of thick wire, and the primary coil is of thin wire.

Working: When an AC 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 emf is induced in each coil. The amount of magnetic flux linked with the coil depends upon the number of turns of the coil.

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.
