Best Answer

An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.

[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]

How can you increase voltage of an ac adapter?

Increase primary voltage but decraease amerage - eg double voltage and half amperage. This will double your secondary voltage. "Transformed" voltage is easy to understand by following this simple math rule. secondary voltage divided by primary voltage = no of turns on secondary and no of turns on primary. eg; 240v \ 12v = 20 (factor) this means the secondary winding is 20x the primary winding. Basically thats all I know Stick to this rule for step up & step down tranforming & you'll be sweet.


What is used to increase or decrease the voltage across a power line?

The device that increases or decreases the voltage impressed across a power line is known as a voltage regulator. A voltage regulator is a type of transformer where the primary and secondary turns ratio are fairly close; one (primary or secondary) often has a tap changing ability to add or remove several windings, allowing more dynamic control of voltage.


What is terminal voltage?

Terminal voltage is the voltage gotten at the terminals of the load in any system.


A transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings If the secondary voltage is 25 V find the primary voltage?

Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns


What happens to voltage when resistance increases?

Ohm's law states that "The current is directly proportional to the applied EMF (voltage) and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit." <<>> if resistor exists, resistance decreases according to ohm's law, current is directly proportional to voltage and current is inversely proportional to resistance it means as current increases, voltage increases. resistance increases, current decreases so as voltage if there is no resistor, there should be no resistance except internal resistance of voltmeter and ammeter

What are the limitations of power supply?

Power limitation transformer circuit structure of power supply, including: an electromagnetic interference filter unit, a rectifying unit, a power factor correction section, a transformer having a primary input terminal and secondary input terminal, a pulse controlling unit connected with the secondary input terminal of the transformer, a primary power limitation circuit and at least one secondary power limitation circuit, an output current controlling unit and an output voltage controlling unit. The input terminal of the output current controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The primary output terminal and secondary output terminal of the output current controlling unit are respectively serially connected with the primary and secondary power limitation circuits. The input terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary output terminal of the transformer. The output terminal of the output voltage controlling unit is connected with the secondary power limitation circuit for controlling the magnitude of the voltage and current of the primary and secondary power limitation circuits so as to control the output power.

Does electrical current generally increase as resistance decreases?

Ohm's Law Voltage = Current x Resistance. So for a fixed voltage as R decreases then current increases proportionally.


In transformer how can you increase or decrease the voltage?

In a transformer, you increase or decrease the voltage by changing the turns ratio between the primary or secondary windings. Increase the turns on primary, and secondary voltage goes down. Increase the turns on secondary, and secondary voltage goes up. Note that this usually involves choosing a different transformer, as changing the turns ratio is not something that can be easily done in the field. Some transformers have multiple taps on one of the windings which can be used to change turns ratio.
