Solution
Principle − It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When current in one circuit changes, an induced current is set up in the neighbouring circuit.
Construction
Working
-
Alternating emf is supplied to the primary coil PP’. The resulting current produces an induced current in secondary.
-
Magnetic flux linked with primary is also linked with the secondary. The induced emf in each turn of the secondary is equal to that induced in each turn of the primary.
Let
EP − Alternating emf applied to primary
nP − Number of turns in the primary
`(dø)/dt - `Rate of change of flux through each turn of primary coil
∴`E_p = - n_p (dø)/dt .......... (1)`
Es− Alternating emf of secondary
ns − Number of turns in secondary
∴`E_s = - n_s (dø)/dt .......... (2)`
Dividing equation (2) by (1),
`E_s/E_p = n_s/n_p = k`
For step-up transformer, K > 1
∴ Es > Ep
-
According to law of conservation of energy,
-
Input electrical power = Output electrical power
EpIp = EsIs
∴ `E_s/E_p = I_p/I_s`
