Working principal of Transformer?

Question

Accepted Answer

The working principle of a transformer involves electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits.

Transformers work on the principle of electromagnetic induction.
They consist of two or more coils of wire, known as windings, which are wound around a common magnetic core.
When an alternating current (AC) flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field.
This changing magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, which is connected to the load.
The voltage in the secondary winding is proportional to the turns ratio between the primary and secondary windings.
Transformers can step up or step down the voltage depending on the turns ratio.
They are used in power transmission and distribution systems to increase or decrease voltage levels.
Example: A step-up transformer increases the voltage from a generator to transmit power over long distances.
Example: A step-down transformer decreases the voltage for use in residential or commercial buildings.
Transformers are efficient devices with minimal power losses.

Accepted Answer

The transformer work on the principle of faraday's law of electromagnetic induction and mutual induction . There are usually two coils primary coil and secondary coil on the transformer core.
