    The document outlines an experiment to investigate the relationship between: 1) The ratio of output and input voltage, and 2) The number of turns in the secondary coil compared to the primary coil, of a self-designed transformer. It provides background on transformers, including that they are used to change AC voltages without moving parts, and can be used to step up or step down voltages. It also describes the principle of mutual induction that transformers are based on.

    OBJECTIVE:

    To investigate the relation between the ratio of:


    1. Output and Input Voltage
    2.Number of turns in the secondary coil and the
    primary coil of a self-designed transformer.

    INTRODUCTION:
    A transformer is an electrical device which is used for
    changing the A.C. voltages. A transformer is most
    widely used device in both low and high current
    circuit.
    In a transformer, the electrical energy transfer from
    one circuit to another circuit takes place without the
    use of moving parts. A transformer which increases
    the voltages is called a step-up transformer. A
    transformer which A.C. decreases the A.C. voltages is
    called a step-down transformer. Transformer is,
    therefore, an essential piece of apparatus both for
    high and low current circuits.
    PRINCIPLE
    It is based on the principle of mutual induction that is if a varying
    current is set-up in a circuit induced e.m.f. is produced in the
    neighboring circuit. The varying current in a circuit produces a varying
    magnetic flux which induces e.m.f. in the neighboring circuit.

    THEORY:
    TO BE Written from Book and the following are to be added: -

    Efficiency: -

    Efficiency of a transformer is defined as the ratio of output power to the input power. i.e.

    η = output power / input power = Es Is / Ep Ip

    Thus, in an ideal transformer, where there are no power losses, η = 1. But in actual
    practice, there are many power losses, therefore the efficiency of transformer is less than
    one.
    ENERGY LOSSES: -

    In practice, the output energy of a transformer is


    always less than the input energy, because energy losses occur
    due to several reasons as explained below.
    1.
    Loss of Magnetic Flux: The coupling between the coils
    is seldom perfect. So, whole of the magnetic flux produced by
    the primary coil is not linked up with the secondary coil.
    2.
    Iron Loss: In actual iron cores despite lamination,
    Eddy currents are produced. The magnitude of eddy current
    may, however be small. And a part of energy is lost as the heat
    produced in the iron core.
    3.
    Copper Loss: In practice, the coils of the transformer
    possess resistance. So, a part of the energy is lost due to the
    heat produced in the resistance of the coil.
    4.
    Hysteresis Loss: The alternating current in the coil tapes
    the iron core through complete cycle of magnetization. So
    Energy is lost due to hysteresis.
    5.
    Magneto restriction: The alternating current in the
    Transformer may be set its parts in to vibrations and sound
    may be produced. It is called humming. Thus, a part of energy
    may be lost due to humming.
