AIR CORE TRANSFORMER

INTRODUCTION : self induction in a coil or conductor is actually an induced back e .m f . which is generated when the magnetic field caused by the current flow cuts the coil or conductor . If the flux lines from the expanding and corracring magncic field of one coil were in the windings of another arrarly coil a voltage would also be induced in that coil the amount of induced e m f in this way depends on the relative positions of the two coils . This including e.m.f ohm coil or comdaciors by magnetic flux lines generated in another coil or conductors is alhed munual induction the coil in which the flux originates is called the primary winding and the one in which emf is induced is called secondary windings Then mutual induction exists between two coils or windings a change in current through one induces a voltage in the other . The device which make use of this principle are called transformer , so by means of transformer electrical energy can be transferred from one circuit to another . With no physical connection between two a

transformer actually transfers electric power from the primary to the secondary circuit . The primary circuit draws the power from the source and the secondary delivers the power to the load the power transferred from the primary to the secondary is determined by the current flowing in the secondary , which in trun depends on the power required by the load a high current with flow in the secondary . This high current will cause a decrease in the each e.m.f of the primary and the primary current will increase this will produce the high strength magnetic field necessary for the high secondary current the transformer this regulates the power transferred from the source to the load in response to the load requirement ,

CONSTRUCTION : An air core transformer can be made easily with few required things as studied in the theory than a needs a primary coil and a secondary coil (number of turny ) normally for demonstrative models of transformers only step down type are easy to make and demonstrate because 220 volt mains supply is available all around and low voltage appliances are also easy for checking the gadget .

Procedure for making transformer : Take the big plastic bobbin and wound around 1000 turns in primary side of transformer now take the small bobbin and wound 250 turns is secondary affix pass to on switch at the board and connect one mains were to it and other terminal . Connect the LED at board and solder secondary terminals directly on it . Now your step down air core transformer is ready to demonstrate .
