Magnetism and electromagnetism • Induced potential and transformers

Key concepts

What you'll likely be quizzed about

  • Transformers are electrical devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.
  • They convert high voltage to low voltage and vice versa.
  • This conversion is essential for efficient power distribution.

What does the formula Vp/Vs = Np/Ns represent?

Click to reveal answer

This formula relates the primary and secondary voltages to the number of turns in the coils.

Key notes

Important points to keep in mind

Transformers adjust voltage to minimize energy loss.

Higher voltage transmission is efficient over long distances.

Use the transformer equation for calculations.
