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)

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.
