A magnetic field is produced when there is a current in the primary coil of a transformer.

^^^^basically magnectic field
A changing current in the primary-winding of a transformer produces a changing magnetic flux in the core which results in a back-emf. in the primary winding through self induction, and a voltage in the secondary winding due to mutual induction.

What happens to the current in a secondary that has twice as many loops as the primary?

The current in the secondary winding of a transformer is not determined by the current flowing in the primary winding; rather, it is the other way around.The current flowing through the secondary winding of a transformer is determined by the load to which it is connected. The primary current can then be determined from the turns ratio.


What will happen to the current if the magnet and coil were not moving?

If the magnet and coil are not moving relative to each other, there will be no induced current in the coil. The movement of the magnetic field relative to the coil is required to induce an electromotive force and generate current through electromagnetic induction.


How can the strength of an electromagnet be increased or decreased?

the current from the battery controls the strength of the electromagnet. Adjusting the voltage will also adjust the current as will adjusting the resistance in accordance with Ohm's Law. Current= voltage/resistance


How a magnetic field is created and how its strength is affected?

A magnetic field is created by moving electric charges, such as electrons. The strength of a magnetic field is affected by the distance from the source, the amount of current flowing, and the material through which the magnetic field is passing. Increasing the current or using materials with higher magnetic permeability will result in a stronger magnetic field.


What is the only time that electromagnets magnetise?

Electromagnets are only magnetised while the electrical current is switched on.

What does a step up transformer do to increase the voltage of an electrical current?

A step-up transformer increases the voltage of an electrical current by having more turns in the secondary coil than in the primary coil. This causes the magnetic field to induce a higher voltage in the secondary coil, resulting in an increase in voltage.


What is the current in the secondary coil fi the current in the primary coil is 5.0A 10 loops on primary coil and 20 on secondary coil?

If I am not wrong then you have asked about a transformer. And its a current transformer. By theory of voltage transformer we know that Vs/Vp = Ns/Np So for answering your question we need the value of number of turns in primary and secondary coil. But you can use this equation to find your answer if you have other values. By using ohmic law you can convert voltage to current.


A step-up transformer has 300 turns on the primary coil and 90000 turns on the secondary coil if the current flowing through the secondary is 5 amps what is the current flowing in the primary?

If a step-up transformer has 200 turns on the primary coil and 3000 turns on the secondary coil, with a primary coil voltage of 90 volts and current of 30 amps, then the turns ratio is 200:3000, so the secondary voltage is 1350 voltage and the available current is 2 amps. (This ignores losses through the transformer.)


When secondary coil is open there is no current in the primary coil WHY?

I am assuming the question is about the power / distribution transformer and not the current transformer. The primary current is a function of load connected on secondary. With the open secondary, there is no load, no current, it is open circuit. Hence no primary current. However there is always some small amount of no load current in the primary winding.


Which type of current does a transformer work with?

A transformer works with alternating current (AC). The primary coil of the transformer is connected to an AC power source, which creates a changing magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary coil.


In a transformer what induces a current in the secondary coil?

The current flowing in the primary generates a magnetic field which induces a current in the secondary winding.AnswerNo current is induced into the secondary winding of a transformer. What is induced is voltage. Current will only flow in the secondary winding if it is connected to the load, and it is the load that determines the current, not the primary current.


A step up transformer has 300 turns on its primary coil and 90 000 turns on its secondary coil If the current flowing through the secondary is .5 amps What is the current flowing in the primary?

1500A. You probably have pri / secondary confused. primary is usually used to denote the higher voltage winding, which will have more turns than the secondary. The secondary will have lower voltage, less turns, but will carry more current.


When can be current in a primary coil induce a current in a secondary coil?

Secondary current = Primary current *(Number of secondary turns /Number of primary) turnsAnswerA current isn't 'induced' into the secondary winding of a transformer. It's a voltage that is induced into the secondary winding.Provided the secondary winding is connected to a load, the secondary voltage then supplies a secondary current which is determined from (Is = Vs/Rload). The primary current then depends upon the value of the secondary current and the turns ratio.


Why a transformer only work with alternating currents?

The iron core of a transformer holds a magnetic field when energized by the primary windings that conduct current. It is the building up and collapse of the magnetic field that induces current in the secondary windings. Direct current has no build up or decay of magnetic field (except when turned on and shut off) so no current is induced in the secondary windings.


How the secondary voltage in transformer is stepped up?

The secondary voltage in a transformer is stepped up by having more turns in the secondary coil compared to the primary coil. This creates a higher electromagnetic induction which leads to a higher output voltage. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil determines the degree of voltage stepping up.


When current in primary coil decreases current in the secondary coil also decreases?

It is reverse. when load current in the secondary changes the primary current also changes directly. Load current is dependent on the load. I am assuming that the question is related to a normal distribution transformer.


What happens during energy conversion?

There is no physical connection between the primary and secondary of a transformer. A transformer is essentially 2 laminated coils of wire interwoven with each other. The magnetic field created in the primary coil is induced into the secondary coil creating voltage on the secondary side.
