Transformer
- is a static electrical device that
transfers electrical energy
between two or more circuits
through electromagnetic
induction.
When a current pass through a
cable, magnetic field is emitted.

Magnetic field changes direction as

AC changes direction.

When cables are placed in close

proximity, the magnetic field from
the cables adds up creating a
larger and more intense magnetic
field.
A current is induced to the
secondary coil disturbing
its free electrons.
Why can’t it work with DC?

Direct current travels in one

direction only.

The only time that DC experience a

change in magnetic field is when
its switch is turned on and off.
As the flux continuously change
direction and intensity, there is
also a change in flux linkage in the
secondary winding.

According to Faraday’s Law of

electromagnetic induction, there
must be an emf induced in the
second. If the circuit of the later
winding is closed, there must be a
current flowing through it and that
it is the simplest form of an
electrical power transformer.
1. How does a transformer transfer energy from one circuit to
another?
2. Which law is stating that an emf must be induced in the
second?
3. This is the movement of free electrons caused by
electromagnetic induction.
4. If a train would be a transformer, what would it be called?
