Undergrad Phase differences in Transformers

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the phase difference of 90 degrees between the primary coil current and the induced e.m.f. in the secondary coil of transformers. A participant references a specific A Level physics exam question that confirms this phase difference. The source of the information is linked for verification. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding this concept in transformer operation. Overall, the phase difference is confirmed as a key point in the context of electrical engineering principles.

How is the phase difference between the current in the primary coil and induced e.m.f. in the secondary coil be 90*??

What makes you think there is a phase difference? Do you have a link to your source?
 
Ofcourse.

Of course.

A Level, physics paper 4 summer 5 question no. 6. In the mark scheme it says 90 degrees.
 
I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
