Used two closed core

A

Shell type transformer

30
Q

Does not have a ferromagnetic core to link the prinary and secodary coils

A

Air core transformer

31
Q

Primary and secondary are wound on one cylindrical core

Highly inefficient

A

Open core transformer

32
Q

Change in voltage is _________ to the ratio of number of turns

A

Directlt proportional

33
Q

Turns ratio =

A

Ns / Np

34
Q

Transformer with a turn ratio greater than 1

A

Step up transformer

35
Q

Used to produce high kVp for xray

A

Step up transformer

36
Q

Turns ratio os less than 1

A

Step down transformer

37
Q

Transformer law

A

Vs / Vp = Ns / Np

38
Q

Transformer law and current

A

Is / Ip = Np / Ns

Np/ Ns =1/ TR
