If it doesn't, you don't have a transformer. The core is where the magnetic flux will pass, which induces voltage on the secondary (voltage applied to the primary winding induces a magnetic flux in the core, which induces a voltage on the secondary winding); If the core is not passed through one coil, it will not induce a voltage in that winding.

Leakage flux outside the core can result in some inductive coupling, but the job of the core is to couple the primary winding to the secondary winding.

Why ac current is used in a transformer?

AC current or DC current can be used in transformers. A transformer is made of two coils of wire, the input coil induces a current into the output coil. Transformers change the voltage either up (step up transformer) or down (step down transformer). The amount of change in voltage is dependent solely on the number of windings in both coils in the transformer. DC transformers work exactly the same way AC transformers do.


How could you convert step up transformer into step down transformer?

Injecting power into the higher voltage winding of a transformer will make it act as a step down transformer; injecting power into the lower voltage winding will make it act as a step up transformer. A transformer can be used both ways.


Are the primary and secondary coils in a transformer physically linked or is there space between the two?

Both the primary and secondary wires have an insulated coating that allows them to be wound over top of each other on an iron core. The AC current flowing in the primary creates a magnetic field in the iron that then induces a voltage in the secondary based on the turns ratio between the primary and secondary coils.


What is off nominal tap ratio off transformer?

It occurs when Vbase rotio of both side of the Transformer is not the same as the Rated Voltge rotio.


What is the amp rating of 100va transformer?

The amp rating for a 100VA transformer will vary depending on the actual voltage of the transformer. Transformers have both a primary and a secondary voltage.

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 can you tell if a transformer is a set up or set down?

The same transformer can be both. It must be operated at the correct voltage on both windings.

What is the same on both sides of any transformer?

frequency. KVA is also same in both side of a transformer!!! KVA means Kilo Volt Ampere.


How the magnetic field of an electromagnet defends on the current and the number of coils?

The magnetic field of an electromagnet is directly proportional to both the current passing through its coils and the number of coils. Increasing either the current or the number of coils will result in a stronger magnetic field, while decreasing them will weaken the magnetic field. This relationship is described by Ampere's law and the concept of magnetic flux.
