Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
V1/V2=N1/N2, that means there shouldn't be a current. Why it is 0?
Thanks!
A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through electromagnetic induction. It is used to change the voltage level of an alternating current (AC) electrical supply.
V1/V2=N1/N2 is the equation used to represent the voltage ratio of a transformer. V1 and V2 represent the input and output voltages, respectively, while N1 and N2 represent the number of turns on the primary and secondary coils of the transformer.
To solve a transformer question using the V1/V2=N1/N2 equation, you need to know the values of three out of the four variables. Once you have the values, you can rearrange the equation to solve for the unknown variable. For example, if you know the input voltage, output voltage, and number of turns on the primary coil, you can solve for the number of turns on the secondary coil.
The primary purpose of a transformer is to step up or step down the voltage level of an electrical supply. This allows for efficient transmission of electricity over long distances and ensures that the correct voltage is supplied to different types of electrical equipment.
There are two main types of transformers: step-up transformers and step-down transformers. A step-up transformer increases the voltage level, while a step-down transformer decreases the voltage level. Other types of transformers include isolation transformers, autotransformers, and three-phase transformers.
