Acknowledgement
I would like to sincerely and profusely thank my Physics
teacher, Mrs Anju Pental , for her able guidance and support
in completing my project.

I would also like to extend my gratitude to the principal for


providing me with all the facility that was required.
Certificate
This is to certify that Shahrukh Momin of class XII has
completed his physics project entitled "Transformer &
its Working".
Introduction

The transformer is a device used for converting a low

alternating voltage to a high alternating voltage or a high

alternating voltage into a low alternating voltage.


Principal

It is based on the principle of mutual induction that is if a varying


current is set-up in a circuit induced e.m.f. is produced in the
neighboring circuit. The varying current in a circuit produce
varying magnetic flux which induces e.m.f. in the neighboring
circuit.
Step Down
Transformer
In our project step-down transformer is used: This transformer converts

high voltage at alternating current into low voltage alternating current.

In step-down transformer the number of turns in primary coil remains

large as compare to secondary coil.


Construction

The transformer consists of two coils. They are insulated with each

other by insulated material and wound on a common core. For

operation at low frequency, we may have a soft iron. The soft iron

core is insulating by joining thin iron strips coated with varnish to

insulate them to reduce energy losses by eddy currents. The input

circuit is called primary. And the output circuit is called secondary.


Theory
Suppose, the number of turns in the primary coil is NP
and that in the secondary coil is NS.
The resistance of the coil is assumed to be zero. Let
be the rate of change of flux in each turn of the primary
coil.

If Ep be the e.m.f. in the primary circuit then.

EP = –NP (1)

We suppose that there is no loss of flux between the


primary and secondary coils.

Then, the induced e.m.f. in the secondary coil will be:

ES = –NS (2)
From equations (i) and (ii), we find:

Ns/Np = K is called transformer ratio or turn ratio.

For step up transformer K > 1

For step down transformer K < 1

That is for step-up transformer NS > NP, therefore ES>EP.

For the step down transformer NS < NP therefore ES < EP.

Efficiency: The efficiency of the transformer is given by:

If Ip and Is be the currents in the primary and secondary

circuits.
For ideal transformer = 1 = 100%.

Therefore ESIS = EPIP

Or

Therefore, for step up, transformer current in the

secondary is less than in the primary (IS < IP). And in a step

down transformer we have IS > IP.


Energy Losses in Transformer
In practice, the output energy of a transformer is

always less than the input energy, because energy losses occur

due to a number of reasons as explained below.

1. Loss of Magnetic Flux: The coupling between the coils

is seldom perfect. So, whole of the magnetic flux produced by

the primary coil is not linked up with the secondary coil.

2. Iron Loss: In actual iron cores inspite of lamination,

Eddy currents are produced. The magnitude of eddy current

may, however be small. And a part of energy is lost as the heat

produced in the iron core.


3. Copper Loss: In practice, the coils of the transformer

possess resistance. So a part of the energy is lost due to the

heat produced in the resistance of the coil.

4. Hysteresis Loss: The alternating current in the coil tapes

the iron core through complete cycle of magnetization. So

Energy is lost due to hysteresis.

5. Magneto restriction: The alternating current in the

Transformer may be set its parts in to vibrations and sound

may be produced. It is called humming. Thus, a part of energy

may be lost due to humming.
