Question
State the principle of a transformer.

Solution
It is based on the principle of ‘electromagnetic induction’. The magnitude of induced e.m.f. is given by the formula.
`"No. of turns in primary coil"/"No.of. turns in secondary coil" = "E.m.f. in primary"/"E.m.f in secondary"`
Neglecting power losses
Elective power fed in the primary (input) = Elective power produced in secondary (output)
or Ep × iP = Es × is
`"E"_"p"/"E"_"s" = "i"_"s"/"i"_"p"`
