Capacitive coupling in Transformers occurs when there is an unintended capacitance between the primary and secondary windings, often due to their proximity. This coupling can lead to voltage transients or overvoltages in the secondary winding, especially during sudden changes in load or fault conditions in the primary circuit. The capacitive effect allows high-frequency components to be transferred from the primary to the secondary, resulting in amplified voltage levels that can exceed the designed insulation ratings and potentially damage equipment. Proper design and insulation strategies are essential to mitigate these overvoltage risks.
no.transformer coupling gives higher gain
an RC coupled amplifier is basically used for voltage amplification , where the circuit currents are quite low. higher currents & voltages would mean more dissipation in the load resistors , which is essentially very lossy . The coupling amplitude to the next stage is ideally the same as the previous stage signal excursion. However if a transformer is used for coupling , both large voltages & current can be handled without incurring the dissipation of a resistive load. Moreover a coupling gain of the transformer primary to secondary ratio is also a bonus. also because of the possiblity of correct impedance matching on the primary & secondary side maximum power coupling is obtained. hence transformer coupling is more efficient in such applications. in high frequency applications transformer coupling , along with tuned circuits as applicable is the choice circuit.
In a transformer with a turns ratio equal to 1, the primary current comprises the reflected secondary current plus the magnetizing current necessary to sustain the "back EMF developed across the mutual inductance coupling the primary winding to the secondary. Therefore the primary current is always greater than the secondary current in a transformer with a turns ratio equal to 1. This should be evident by applying Kirchhoff's Current Law to the central node of the "T-equivalent" model of a transformer.
NO. Transformer coupling gives the higher gain in case of amplifer.
In audio frequency (AF) amplifiers, capacitive coupling is commonly used. This method allows the AC audio signal to pass through while blocking any DC components, preventing DC biasing from affecting subsequent stages. It ensures that each stage of the amplifier operates correctly without interference from DC levels present in the signal. Additionally, transformer coupling can also be used in some designs for impedance matching and isolation.

Transformer coupling
The berry type of transformer is almost similar to the shell type of transformer. This type of transformer has a structure that is similar to spokes of wheel and contains a distributed magnetic circuit.

The primary coil is the one with voltage applied, or the 'input'. The secondary coil is the one in which a voltage is induced by electromagnetism, or the 'output'. In a step up transformer, the secondary coil voltage is higher than the primary. In a step down transformer, the secondary coil voltage is lower than the primary. In an isolation transformer, the secondary coil voltage is the same as the primary. Here, the point of the transformer isn't to raise or lower voltage, but to keep a particular circuit electrically disconnected from another circuit, while still allowing the circuits to function together (through electromagnetism).
A capacitor is a device that resists a change in voltage, proportional to current and inversely proportional to capacitance. dv/dt = i/c An inductor is a device that resists a change in current, proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to inductance. di/dt = v/l In an AC circuit with capacitive loading, the current waveform will lead the voltage waveform; while with inductive loading, the current waveform will lag the voltage waveform.
transformer coupling ensures maximum power transfer is obtained even if the output impedance is not equal to the load impedance
Close approximation of the primary and secondary coils makes for an efficient transformer. It is the rise and fall of the magnetic field that surrounds the wire in the primary that induces a current to flow in the secondary. The closer the wire producing the magnetic field is to the conductor being cut by the magnetic field (induction) the better the secondary output.
