Q

WORKING PRINCIPLE OF TRANSFORMER

A

The basic principle behind working of a transformer is the
phenomenon of mutual induction between two windings linked by
common magnetic flux.

consists of two inductive coils; primary
winding and secondary winding. The coils are electrically separated
but magnetically linked to each other.

Flux produced is alternating (the direction of it is continuously
changing), EMF gets induced in the secondary winding according to
Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction.

If the secondary winding is closed circuit, then mutually induced
current flows through it, and hence the electrical energy is
transferred from one circuit (primary) to another circuit (secondary)
