Transformers are essential electrical devices that transfer energy between circuits, change voltage levels, and provide electrical isolation. They operate using electromagnetic induction with no moving parts. A basic transformer consists of two key components: an iron core and two sets of wire coils - the primary winding connected to the input, and the secondary winding from which we get the output. The iron core provides a path for magnetic flux to link both coils efficiently.
When alternating current flows through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic field according to Ampere's Law. This changing magnetic field produces magnetic flux that flows through the iron core. The iron core provides a low-reluctance path, channeling the magnetic flux efficiently to the secondary coil. According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, this changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive force or voltage in the secondary coil. This process of energy transfer through a magnetic field, rather than direct electrical connection, is the fundamental operating principle of transformers.
