In your analysis here you do include an ideal transformer, then add an external resistance to it to account for its non-ideality.xvivi said:I don't think it can be solved as most of the equations dealing with transformers assume an ideal transformer.
The current in a transformer refers to the flow of electrical charge, while voltage refers to the potential difference between two points. In a transformer, the current is induced by the changing magnetic field, while the voltage is induced by the changing magnetic flux.
A transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It has two coils, a primary coil and a secondary coil, which are wound around a core. When an alternating current is passed through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic field, which induces a current in the secondary coil. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary and secondary coils determines the change in current and voltage.
A transformer is used in the electrical grid to step up or step down the voltage levels. This is necessary for efficient transmission and distribution of electricity. High voltage is used for long-distance transmission to reduce energy loss, while lower voltage is used for safe distribution to homes and businesses.
The efficiency of a transformer is the ratio of the output power to the input power. Ideally, a transformer should have 100% efficiency, but due to losses in the form of heat and electromagnetic radiation, the efficiency is usually around 95-99%. The efficiency of a transformer can be improved by using high-quality materials and proper design.
No, a transformer can only change the voltage and current of an AC power supply. It cannot convert DC to AC or vice versa. For this purpose, other devices such as inverters or rectifiers are used.
