Resonant transformer - sign of the voltage reinduced in the primary winding

In summary, when a voltage is applied to the primary LC circuit, it creates a sinusoidal current. This induces a voltage in the secondary winding, causing a positive multiple of -cos(2*Pi*f*t). This, in turn, induces a negative multiple of -sin(2*Pi*f*t) in the primary winding, which decreases the current in the primary winding. However, drawing current from the secondary winding actually increases the current in the primary winding due to the increased difference between the source emf and the coil's emf.

Consider a biresonant transformer with a small coupling coefficient k << 1.
Let the voltage applied to the primary LC circuit be U1(t)=U*sin(2*Pi*f*t), then also the current I1 will be sinusoidal. The voltage induced in the secondary winding and the current in the secondary LC circuit will be a positive multiple of -cos(2*Pi*f*t). Then the voltage reinduced in the primary winding will be a positive multiple of -sin(2*Pi*f*t), so it will tend to decrease the current in the primary winding. As far as I know, drawing current from the secondary winding INCREASES the current through the primary winding.
What is the explanation?

See what you think of this:

Apply a voltage sin(ωt) and a current sin(ωt) flows, setting up a magnetic flux sin(ωt)
The voltage induced in the secondary by that flux is dɸ/dt, viz., cos(ωt)
and causing a secondary current of cos(ωt)
This secondary current produces a flux of cos(ωt), and the derivative of that, dɸ/dt, inducing a component in the primary of –sin(ωt)

The increased difference between the source emf and the coil´s emf causes increased primary current.

(I leave you to prepend an amplitude co-efficients to each time-varying term.)
 

1. What is a resonant transformer?

A resonant transformer is a type of transformer that uses the principle of resonance to achieve a specific voltage or current output. It consists of a primary winding, a secondary winding, and a resonant capacitor connected in series.

2. How does a resonant transformer work?

A resonant transformer works by using the principle of resonance, which occurs when the inductive reactance of the primary winding and the capacitive reactance of the resonant capacitor are equal. This allows for a maximum transfer of energy between the primary and secondary windings.

3. What is the sign of the voltage reinduced in the primary winding of a resonant transformer?

The sign of the voltage reinduced in the primary winding of a resonant transformer is dependent on the direction of the current flow in the secondary winding. If the current flows in the same direction as the primary winding, the voltage will be in-phase with the primary voltage. If the current flows in the opposite direction, the voltage will be out-of-phase with the primary voltage.

4. What are the applications of resonant transformers?

Resonant transformers have various applications in electronics, such as in wireless power transfer, power amplifiers, and high voltage power supplies. They are also commonly used in induction heating and fluorescent lighting systems.

5. How do you calculate the voltage ratio of a resonant transformer?

The voltage ratio of a resonant transformer can be calculated by dividing the number of turns in the secondary winding by the number of turns in the primary winding. This ratio can also be affected by the values of the resonant capacitor and the inductance of the windings.
