Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around an experiment conducted on transformers, specifically examining the relationship between two tightly wrapped coils with the same length and number of coils in a complete AC circuit. The participant measured voltage while varying the distance between the coils, comparing results with an iron core versus an air core.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Experimental/applied

Main Points Raised

  • One participant observed a linear relationship between distance and voltage when using an iron core, while noting that the relationship became an inverse function with an air core.
  • Another participant questioned the availability of background material or context for the experiment, suggesting that it may be beneficial for understanding the results.
  • A different participant expressed a personal interest in understanding wireless charging, indicating that they believe they have figured out some aspects independently.
  • Another contribution suggested that the proximity of sender and receiver, along with high frequencies, are important factors in wireless charging, although the participant acknowledged a lack of expertise.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the implications of the experimental results or the underlying principles, with multiple viewpoints and questions remaining unresolved.

Contextual Notes

There is a lack of background material provided, which may limit the understanding of the experiment's context and results. The discussion also reflects varying levels of expertise among participants.

So I did an experiment a this week on the relationship between two tightly wrapped coils with same length and number of coils in a transformer. This was in a compete circuit using AC currents. I measured the Voltage, keeping the currents the same. One experiment had an iron core between the two coils and I varied the distance between the two coils and got a linear relationship. When I used an air core, the relationship between distance and voltage became and inverse function. I don't understand why.

Hello Chezz, and :welcome:

Aren't your notes or textbook supposed to help you in this ? No background amterial anywherer in sight ? This experiment does have a context, though, I suppose ?
 
Well, I did this experiment on my own and was wondering about how wireless charging works. I think i figured out myself, but thanks for dropping by to help.
 
Kudos for this initiative to find out ! I think you're on the right track. Closeness of sender and receiver and high frequencies are key in wireless charging I think, but I'm no expert. Let's ask @CWatters :smile: !
