An AC transformer works on the principle of mutual induction, where a time-varying magnetic flux in one coil induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a nearby coil.
Basic Setup of a Transformer
- A transformer consists of two windings:
- Primary winding: Connected to an AC voltage source.
- Secondary winding: Connected to the load.
- Both windings are wound on a common magnetic core that facilitates magnetic flux linkage.
