Question
Explain the construction of transformer.
Solution
Principle:
The principle of a transformer is the mutual induction between two coils. That is, when an electric current passing through a coil changes with time, an emf is induced in the neighbouring coil.
Construction of transformer
Construction:
- In the simple construction of transformers, there are two coils of high mutual inductance wound over the same transformer core.
- The core is generally laminated and is made up of a good magnetic material like silicon steel. Coils are electrically insulated but magnetically linked via transformer core.
- The coil across which alternating voltage is applied is called primary coil P and the coil from which output power is drawn out is called secondary coil S.
- The assembled core and coils are kept in a container which is filled with suitable medium for better insulation and cooling purpose.

For an LCR circuit, the power transferred from the driving source to the driven oscillator is P = I2Z cos φ.
- Here, the power factor cos φ ≥ 0, P ≥ 0.
- The driving force can give no energy to the oscillator (P = 0) in some cases.
- The driving force cannot syphon out (P < 0) the energy out of oscillator.
- The driving force can take away energy out of the oscillator.
