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.
