Can anyone tell me that Ohm law apply on Transformer or not?

AI Thread Summary
Ohm's law is fundamental in electrical theory and applies broadly, including to transformers. However, transformers also involve additional principles due to their inductive nature, requiring consideration of reactance (X sub L). While Ohm's law can be used in transformer calculations, it is not the sole governing principle. Understanding both Ohm's law and the specific equations related to transformers is essential for accurate analysis. Overall, Ohm's law is relevant, but it must be applied alongside other transformer-specific equations.

Question: Can anyone tell me that Ohm law apply on Transformer or not?




Thanx.

Memorize ohms law and all of the variations. If you are going into the electrical field it is the mother of all laws and applies to everything.
 
I misread your original thread and thought you said transistor but my earlier statement is still true but a transformer is an inductor and then other considerations have to be taken into account and not the least of which is X sub L.

Ohm's law applies to everything. In addition, other equations describe the inductive nature of transformers, and transformer action.
 

Thread 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
