Is the Current in a Transformer Determined by Impedence?

AI Thread Summary
In a transformer, the current drawn is influenced by the impedance on both the primary and secondary sides, not solely by the side with the highest impedance. The relationship between voltage and current is governed by the turns ratio and the load connected to the transformer. Higher impedance on one side can limit current, but the overall behavior is determined by the entire circuit configuration. For further clarification, additional resources and discussions on transformer action are available. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately analyzing transformer performance.

Im Confuswed I Think...in A Traqnsformer The Current Drawn Is Decided By The Side Wirth The Highest Impedence?i Was To Be3lieve That I Was Am I Right To?

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
