A transformer has a primary (Where the AC supply voltage is applied); and a secondary where a voltage is induced by a fluctuating magnetic field in the iron core of the transformer. The secondary voltage depends on the ratio of windings between the primary and secondary. Since the transformer can't manufacture power the product of the voltage and current at the primary exceeds that in the secondary. So if the transformer steps up the voltage in the secondary, the maximum current in the secondary must decrease. Similarly if the voltage is stepped down the maximum current increases in the secondary. There are always losses in this process so the power in is always somewhat less than power out.

Why don't we supply to DC to the transformer?

When we give d.c supply to a transformer the primary winding will burn because constent flux will be will be produced which doesnt link with secondary so max current will circulate on primary winding only

Dc and ac analysis of Differential amplifier?

DC Analysis: For this analysis, frequency is made zero and the voltage of the source is increased in small steps from 0V.And the output voltage is plotted. So, finally we get a Vout vs Vin curve. AC Analysis: In this analysis, we choose an AC source. We keep the Offset voltage = 0V, AC voltage or small signal voltage = 2V (You can take any voltage you wish and it doesnt matter). So, to plot the ac response or frequency response of the circuit, increase the frequency in steps and note the output voltage. from this analysis , we can find the gain of the circuit over frequency.

Will increase in nominal money supply increase real money supply?

No because real money supply would only increase if the price level doesnt increase or increases at a slower pace than the increase in nominal money supply. This is because the real money supply takes into account the current price level.

Why power does not remains same in series circuit?

In a series circuit, the current through each element is the same current. Because the total current must flow through every element. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each element is the same voltage. Because every element is connected individually across the power supply.


If the seawater is an electricity conductor why doesnt it electricute people who are swimming in the ocean?

Sea water does not conduct its own electricity, and due to its liquid form, it can not create static electricity. Leaving lighting, or downed electricity lines to provide it with an electical current, and depending on the voltage of the current, how far it travels.
