Lesson 6 - TransformersAims:
•To recall the structure of a transformer, and understand that a transformer changes the size of an alternating voltage by having different numbers of turns on the input and output sides.
•To know and be able to use the relationship between input (primary) and output (secondary) voltages and the turns ratio for a transformer :

Transformers
•A transformer has two electromagnetic coils.
•When the electricity changes in the first coil an electric voltage is created across the second coil.
•Transformers are used to change the voltage and current of the electricity that comes from BELCO.

How does it work?

Transformers•A transformer can change the voltage and current of an electrical supply.
•Some devices need low voltage and some need some need high voltage.
•Only a.c. voltage can be transformed from one voltage to another, this is why mains electricity needs to be a.c.
•To understand a transformer we need to learn more about coils and cores.

Remember this?
An electric voltage is only induced when the magnet is moving. We need a changing magnetism to make electricity.

Bar magnet have a similar magnetic field patter to a solenoid with current.

Input side
The primary voltage creates a magnetic field when its current passes through the coil.
The a.c. voltage means that the magnetism through the coil is always changing.
![Page 13: GCSE Physics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/56815585550346895dc359ca/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Output sideThe magnetism from the primary coil is passed through the iron to the secondary coil.
Because the magnetism is changing a voltage is induced in the secondary coil.
The size of the output voltage depends on the size of the two coils.
Changing the magnetism is just like moving a magnet, only
easier!

Soft iron core• Iron is a soft magnetic material, this means that it is very easy to magnetize and very easy to demagnetize.
•In a transformer the direction of electricity is changing many times each second.
•Every fraction of a second the core needs to change its magnetism. We use iron because it can change its magnetism from one direction to another very easily.

Transformers•Transformers change the voltage and current of an a.c. electrical supply.
•In the following experiment mains electricity at 220 volts enters the circuit.
•After leaving the transformer the voltage has been reduced to approximately 11 volts.
![Page 17: GCSE Physics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/56815585550346895dc359ca/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Input circuitThe voltage enters the circuit through the thick 220 volt wire and passes through the coil with 3600 turns.
![Page 19: GCSE Physics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/56815585550346895dc359ca/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Output circuitThe voltage is induced in the smaller part of the transformer that only has 300 turns of wire. It then travels through the thinner wires to the 11 volt lamp.

The lamp is off because the magnetism is not strong enough to go from one coil the other.
![Page 21: GCSE Physics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/56815585550346895dc359ca/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

22The ‘O’ core is even stronger.

Transformer example 1A step-down transformer is required to transform 240 V a.c. to 12 V a.c. for a model railway. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, how many turns should the secondary have?
V2 / V1 = T2 / T1
T2 = T1 × (V2 / V1)
T2 = 1000 × (12/240)
T2 = 50 turns

V2 = 120V × (5000/2500)
V2 = 240 V

Power Dissipated in an Electricity Distribution System
We can figure out the current required by a single bulb using P = VI so I = P/V = 120 Watts/12 Volts = 10 Amps (!) Estimate resistance of power lines: 0.001 Ω/m 2105 m = 20 Ohms

Power dissipate/waste in transmission a line is
P = I2R = 102 20 = 2,000 Watts!!
“Efficiency” is
e = 120 Watts/2120 Watts = 5.6%!!!
What could we change in order to do better?
![Page 38: GCSE Physics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/56815585550346895dc359ca/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
The Tradeoff• The thing that kills us most is the high current
through the (fixed resistance) transmission lines
• Need less current– it’s that square in I2R that has the most dramatic
effect
• But our appliance needs a certain amount of power– P = VI so less current demands higher voltage
![Page 39: GCSE Physics](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062223/56815585550346895dc359ca/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
• Solution is high voltage transmission
– Repeating the above calculation with 12,000 Volts delivered to the house draws only
– I = 120 Watts/12 kV = 0.01 Amps for one bulb,
– giving – P = I2R = (0.01)220 = 2010-4 Watts, – so – P = 0.002 Watts of power dissipated in transmission
line
– Efficiency in this case is e = 120 Watts/120.004 = 99.996% 39

Example• An average of 120 kW is delivered to
a suburb 10 km away. The transmission lines have a total resistance of 0.40 Ω. Calculate the power loss if the transmission voltage is:

DANGER!• But having high voltage in each household
is a recipe for disaster– sparks every time you plug something in– risk of fire– not cat-friendly
• Need a way to step-up/step-down voltage at will– can’t do this with DC, so go to AC

Power Transmission• Electric power is usually transmitted over
high voltage power lines.
• Copper wire has a resistance and over long runs some energy will be lost to the surroundings as heat.
• A low current (high voltage) minimizes this loss.
