प्रश्न
Explain the construction and working of the transformer.
उत्तर
Construction: It consists of two coils of primary and secondary coils insulated from each other and wound on a soft iron core as shown in fig. (a). Input is applied across the primary coil, and output is taken across the secondary coil.
Notations:
P1, P2: Primary coil
S1, S2: Secondary coil
There are two types of transformers:
- Step-up transformer: In this, the number of turns in the primary coil is less than the number of turns in the secondary coil. The primary coil is made up of thick wire, and the secondary coil is made up of thin wire.
- Step-down transformer: Here the number of turns in the primary coil is greater than that in the secondary coil. The secondary coil is made up of thick wire, and the primary coil is of thin wire.
Working: When an AC voltage is applied to the primary coil, the current through the coil goes on changing. Hence the magnetic flux through the core also changes. As this changing magnetic flux is linked with both coils, an emf is induced in each coil. The amount of magnetic flux linked with the coil depends upon the number of turns of the coil.

The teachers of Geeta’s school took the students on a study trip to a power generating station, located nearly 200 km away from the city. The teacher explained that electrical energy is transmitted over such a long distance to their city, in the form of alternating current (ac) raised to a high voltage. At the receiving end in the city, the voltage is reduced to operate the devices. As a result, the power loss is reduced. Geeta listened to the teacher and asked questions about how the ac is converted to a higher or lower voltage.
1) Name the device used to change the alternating voltage to a higher or lower value. State one cause for power dissipation in this device.
2) Explain with an example, how power loss is reduced if the energy is transmitted over long distances as an alternating current rather than a direct current.
3) Write two values each shown by the teachers and Geeta.
