How much can we trust the theory?
What can we do if the theory doesn’t match the outcome?
Can we live without heuristics?
Are complex models always better?
What makes the engineers lose faith in the theory?
Can theory really be used in practice?

First problem: practical transformer
The previous forward converter worked only if the
transformer were ideal.
However, practical transformers have magnetising
inductance.

Deriving solution: core reset
A path must exist during OFF time to bring the
magnetizing current back to zero

Completing the solution
What happens when the switch is turned on again in the next cycle?
The current will rush through the switch!!

We must protect the switch from such huge in-rush.

Consider a buck converter with input 24V. Suppose d stays constant, but the load
resistance steps up.
Suppose d is forced to step up from 0.2 to 0.4.

The theory does not fail. The engineers fail to identify the
right ingredients for constructing theories that are viable.
