Question
Derive the equation for a transformer.
Advertisements
Solution
Let NP and Ns be the number of turns of the primary and secondary coils. Let Φ be the magnetic flux linked per turn.
Φp = NpΦ
= Total magnetic flux linked with the primary coil at certain instant,
Φs = NsΦ
= Total magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil at a certain instant.
By Faraday and Lenz's laws,
Induced emf in the primary coil (ep) is given by
`e_p = -(dphi_p)/dt`
= `-N_p(dphi)/dt` ...(i)
emf induced in the secondary coil (es) is
`e_s = -(dphi_s)/dt`
= `-N_s(dphi)/dt` ...(ii)
Dividing equation (ii) by equation (i),
`e_s/e_p = N_s/N_p` ...(iii)
The ratio `N_s/N_p` is called the turn ratio.
For an ideal transformer,
Input power = Output Power
epIp = esIs
`e_s/e_p = I_p/I_s` ...(iv)
From equations (iii) and (iv),
`e_s/e_p = N_s/N_p = I_p/I_s` ...(v)

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.
