Quick Flyback Convertor Question

AI Thread Summary
In a flyback converter, the polarity of the secondary winding voltage (v2) differs from that of a normal transformer due to the unique operation of the flyback mechanism. The primary winding's voltage (v1) and current (I1) flow in the same direction, but the wrapping of the wire around the transformer core influences the induced voltage and current in the secondary winding. This wrapping affects the phase relationship, resulting in a change in polarity for the secondary voltage and current (I2). While the direction of secondary current can vary with different connections, the impact on the primary winding's back electromotive force (back emf) remains consistent. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for effective flyback converter design.

In a flyback convertor, why does the polarity of v2 on the secondary winding change compared to a normal transformer circuit as shown in the picture attached?

If the voltage and current, v1 and I1 in the primary winding are flowing in the same direction in both circuits shouldn't the polarity of the induced voltage and current v2 and I2 be the same polarity in both circuits?

Is the direction of the voltage and current in the secondary just due to the way the wire has been wrapped around the transformer core as I have drawn in the picture attached?

The sense of the secondary current would be different for different connections but the effect on the primary ('back emf') would be the same in each case.
 

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 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

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...
