Make transformer more practical
William Stanley
High voltage
Skinny wire
Low voltage
Wide wire
Change low voltage to higher v in AC circuit
Transformer
Parts of transformer
Primary coil
Secondary coil
Iron core
Provides path for the magnetic lines of flux
Core
Made of laminated layers of iron
Ferromagnetic core
Helps reduce energy losses
Ferromagnetic core
Receives energy from the AC source
Primary
Receives energy from the primary winding and delivers it to the load
Secondary winding
Protection from dirt
Enclosure
Primary winding effects the other coil
Inductance
Property of a circuit by which energy is stored in the form of an electromagnetic field
Inductance
What is needed to change the voltage
Change the current in the primary
Affects the induced voltage on the secondary coil
Current level
Changing magnetic field means
Changing electromagnetic force
By changing the current, ….
The desired voltage can be obtained
