For an 'ideal' transformer operating at full load, the answer is yes. But, 'real' Transformers are a little less than 100% efficient so, in practice, the input power will slightly exceed the output power. In most circumstances, for the purpose of calculating primary and secondary currents, we can assume 100% efficiency.

What is the basic difference between transistor as an amplifier and a step up transformer?

The output power of an amplifier is greater than its input power, whereas the output power of a transformer is almost the same as its input power. In other words, an amplifier increases acts to increase power, whereas a transformer only increases voltage.


Why PLL better than VCO?

A PLL is different than a VCO. Each has its own use. Actually a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) contains a VCO (Voltage controlled oscillator). A VCO is an oscillator whose frequency is related to an input voltage. You can use it when you need a varying frequency that is controlled by a varying voltage. But it is not great at outputting a consistant exact voltage because it is very sensitive to its environment (e.g. temperature). A PLL will "lock" its output frequency to some input frequency. So it can oscillate at a frequency that is controlled by an input oscillator. Not too useful if the output frequency is the same as the input. But the output frequency can be divided before it is compared to the input. This allows the output frequency to be higher (some multiple of) the input frequency. Once a PLL is "locked on" to an input frequency it can be very stable.


The ratio of coils on the input side of a transformer to coils on the output side is the ratio of the input voltage to the output voltage?

I think you mean 'turns' rather than 'coils' (a coil is made up of a number of turns). The answer is that, yes, the turns ratio is the same as the voltage ratio, for an ideal transformer.


What is the lowest ripple frequency of half wave rectifier?

The ripple frequency of a half-wave rectifier is the same as the input frequency.


Why positive feedback unstable?

A: To feedback more of the same signal from the output to increase the input to farther increase the output and farther increase the input will ultimately saturate the system

Does an isolation transformer work from 50 Hz input to 60 Hz output?

Generally speaking, an isolation transformer will work pretty much the same for 50 Hertz as for 60 Hertz. There will be some slight differences, but the frequency is low enough and the the range narrow enough that the transformer will just "do its thing" regardless. Note that the isolation transformer won't change the frequency of the input. An input of 50 Hz or 60 Hz will yield an output of 50 Hz and 60 Hz respectively. No change should be expected.


Can you use a step up coil system to quadruple the power output of a stereo?

Assuming you mean a step-up transformer, no. An ideal transformer will always have the same input power and output power. A real transformer will actually have losses, so the power output will generally be somewhat less than the power input. To increase the power output of an amplifier, you need to actually decrease the load impedance for the same given frequency. What this means is that you will draw more power with a speaker having 6-ohms impedance (at say, 1kHz) than a speaker having 8-ohms impedance (also at 1kHz; the frequency doesn't matter but needs to be the same reference to compare apples-to-apples).


Another way of saying that the output is 70 percent of the signal input at cutoff frequency is that the output is up or down dB at frequency cutoff?

If the output power is 70% of the input power, then the output is roughly 1.55 dB downcompared to the input.If the voltage at any point of the output waveform is 70% of the voltage at the same pointon the input waveform, and the input and output impedance are equal, then the output is3.1 dB down (rounded) compared to the input.


What is the frequency of the secondary of a 230 volt step down transformer?

The frequency is dependant upon what electrical grid that you are connecting the transformerto. If you are connected to a 50 Hz grid, the transformer will output a voltage at 50 Hz. The same thing with the 60 Hz grid, the transformer will output a voltage at 60 Hz.

What would happen if the number of coils on both sides of the transformer were the same?

This is what is known as a 1:1, or ISOLATION Transformer. There is no change to the Voltage or Current of the input, but this does provide a separation between the input and output of the transformer. This separation is sometimes required for safety purposes, especially in a medical environment.


How do you calculate the output voltage of a transformer if kva rating is known?

You can't determine the output voltage of a transformer by knowing kva. Transformers will be marked as to input and output voltages. Some will have multiple input and output voltages. The output voltage depends on the ratio of coil turns between input and output.


How does frequency mixing take place in radio receiver?

The incoming frequency is fed to a transformer ( or IC chip). Another frequency is fed to that same place. The sums and differences are output. Differences are rectified to recover the modulated info.


What is the relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a FULL-wave rectifier?

The frequency of a full-wave rectifier is double that of the input, if the input is a sine wave or triangle wave. If the input is a square wave, the output is DC. If the input is a sawtooth wave, the output is a triangle wave of the same frequency.


How do you determine whether a table of input output data is a function?

If every input has an output. If two outputs are the same, they must have the same input.
