EEC 123With the aid of an appropriate diagram explain the operation of a basic transformer
Just like something as this;
The basic things that should be on your transformer are ferromagnetic core, flux, current flowing, voltage, number of turns (i.e winding) and load
(2)Explain the characteristics of transformer when carrying load.
When an applied voltage is applied to the primary side of a transformer, current I1 flows generating a flux that produce current I2 that opposes the current I1, so as yo maintain the flux value needed for the transformer. Noting that with the aid of flux the transformer is able to transfer current from the primary side to the secondary side which hereby induces an E. M. F in the both side E1 and E2.The number of turns on the primary side and secondary side can be increase or reduce to determine how the current will be i.e increased in the primary side will give more current flowing than an increase in the secondary side. The voltage produce at the secondary side may be connected to a load.
