Resonant transformer - sign of the voltage reinduced in the primary winding

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the behavior of a biresonant transformer with a small coupling coefficient (k << 1) when subjected to a sinusoidal voltage input (U1(t) = U*sin(2*Pi*f*t). The primary winding experiences a sinusoidal current (I1), while the secondary winding generates a voltage that is a positive multiple of -cos(2*Pi*f*t). This results in a reinduced voltage in the primary winding that is a positive multiple of -sin(2*Pi*f*t), which tends to decrease the primary current. However, drawing current from the secondary winding paradoxically increases the primary current due to the increased difference between the source electromotive force (emf) and the coil's emf.

Consider a biresonant transformer with a small coupling coefficient k << 1.
Let the voltage applied to the primary LC circuit be U1(t)=U*sin(2*Pi*f*t), then also the current I1 will be sinusoidal. The voltage induced in the secondary winding and the current in the secondary LC circuit will be a positive multiple of -cos(2*Pi*f*t). Then the voltage reinduced in the primary winding will be a positive multiple of -sin(2*Pi*f*t), so it will tend to decrease the current in the primary winding. As far as I know, drawing current from the secondary winding INCREASES the current through the primary winding.
What is the explanation?

See what you think of this:

Apply a voltage sin(ωt) and a current sin(ωt) flows, setting up a magnetic flux sin(ωt)
The voltage induced in the secondary by that flux is dɸ/dt, viz., cos(ωt)
and causing a secondary current of cos(ωt)
This secondary current produces a flux of cos(ωt), and the derivative of that, dɸ/dt, inducing a component in the primary of –sin(ωt)

The increased difference between the source emf and the coil´s emf causes increased primary current.

(I leave you to prepend an amplitude co-efficients to each time-varying term.)
