Solution
Derivation:
Let ‘Φ’ be the magnetic flux linked per turn with both coils at a certain instant of time ‘t’.
Let the number of turns of the primary and secondary coils be ‘Np’ and ‘Ns’, respectively.
Therefore, the total magnetic flux linked with the primary coil at certain instant of time ‘t’ is NpΦ. Similarly, the total magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil at certain instant of time ‘t’ is NsΦ.
Now, the induced emf in a coil is
`e=(d phi)/dt`
Therefore, the induced emf in the primary coil is
`e_p=(d phi_p)/dt=(dN_p phi)/dt=-N_p(d phi)/dt` .......(1)
Similarly, the induced emf in the secondary coil is
`e_s=(d phi_s)/dt=(dN_s phi)/dt=-N(d phi)/dt` ........(2)
Dividing equations (1) and (2), we get
`e_s/e_p=(-N_s(d phi)/dt)/(-N_p(d phi)/dt)=N_s/N_p` ........(3)
The above equation is called the equation of the transformer and the ratio `N_s/N_p`is known as the turns ratio of the transformer.
Now, for an ideal transformer, we know that the input power is equal to the output
power.
∴`P_p=P_s`
∴`e_p i_p=e_s i_s`
∴`e_s/e_p=i_p/i_s`
From equation (3), we have
`e_s/e_p=N_s/N_P`
∴`e_s/e_p=N_s/N_p=i_p/i_s`

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.

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.
