| What do Transformers do? | -Change the size of the Potential Difference in an Alternating Current |
| How can Transformers do their Job? | -They contain 2 Coils: Primary and Secondary Coil
-Those cores are joined via an Iron Core
-When an Alternating Potential Difference is given to the Primary Coil, it makes an Alternating Magnetic Field
-Iron, too joins in and creates a Magnetic Field due to the Primary Coil. But since the Coil's alternate, the Irons will as well
-And this Changing Magnetic Field gives the Secondary Coil an Induced Potential Difference |
| How effective are Transformers? | -Almost 100% effective, so pretty much
Power in Primary Coil = Power in Secondary Coil |
| What happens, in Transformers, if you put more Turns in the Secondary Coil? | -The Potential Difference will be Greater
-Current will Decrease |
| What are Step-Down Transformers? | -Simply Transformers that step the Voltage down
-They have more Turns on the Primary Coil, than the Secondary Coil |
| What are Step-Up Transformers? | -Simply Transformers that step the Voltage Up
-They have More turns on the Secondary Coil, than the Primary Coil |
| What is the Transformer Equation tell you? | -The Number of Turns in the Coil can affect the Size of the Potential Difference in it
-The Ratio between the Potential Difference in the Primary and
Secondary Coil is the same as the Number of Turns in the Coil
Pd across Primary Coil [V]...=..Number of Turns in Primary Coil
----------------------------------=..--------------------------------------
Pd across Secondary Coil [V].=. Number of Turns in Secondary Coil |
| What factors determine the Transformers effectiveness? | -Core Quality/Size
-Wire Size |
