Transformers

Two coils on an iron core: how a transformer works, step-up and step-down, the turns ratio Vp/Vs = np/ns and power in = power out for an ideal transformer.

You will be able to

  • Explain how a transformer changes an alternating p.d.
  • Use Vp ÷ Vs = np ÷ ns to find a p.d. or a number of turns
  • Use Vp Ip = Vs Is to find a current in an ideal transformer
