The flux means the flux of the magnetic field passing through the iron core of the transformer. Because the applied voltage is AC, it means that the flux is also AC.

The voltage and the flux are related by the basic formula v = N d/dt (phi) where N is the number of turns in the coil. At a steady frequency this becomes:

v = N x 2pi x freq x (total flux in Webers)

This is the basic design equation for Transformers because the peak flux density in the core sets a physical limit and determines the size of the transformer, which is why transformers are always larger at lower frequencies.

Why transformer do not operate with DC?

Transformer works with varying flux. DC won't create it. Only AC produce varying flux.


What are the differences between the natures of dc flux and ac flux?

dc flux is caused by dc current (flux and current are proportional), it is a constant value. Put an inductor (or transformer winding) across a battery and you will get dc flux. ac flux is caused by ac current (flux and current are proportional), it is a moving value, the flux moves with the current, typically cyclical but the waveform is arbitrary as long as we're moving.


What is difference between an AC and DC flux?

As happens with voltage and current, flux is steady for dc but keeps altering for ac. A transformer works through the ac flux in the magnetic core.


Why transformer supply is ac?

trf cannot work on dc. the primary flux must vary for induction to occur in the secondary winding. howlunf


Is mutual flux in transformer constant for all loads?

The flux is set by the voltage applied to the transformer. In most applications, the voltage is constant, and therefore the flux is constant also.


Why transformer not produce DC current?

because transformer in made inductorAlternative AnswerTransformers are AC machines, and do not work with DC. This is because they require an alternating current to set up an alternating magnetic flux which then induces an alternating voltage into its secondary. Remember, there has to be a changing magnetic flux and a conductor for an emf. to be induced into that conductor.


Why will or won't a transformer operate on AC?

How are is a transformer and a rectifier different?

A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to DC.


Is flux only produce in ac supply or in both ac and dc?

Flux is produced in both AC and DC systems, but the nature of the flux differs. In DC circuits, the magnetic flux is constant, as the current flows in one direction. In AC circuits, the magnetic flux changes direction and magnitude periodically, resulting in a time-varying magnetic field. Thus, while both types of current can produce flux, AC generates a dynamic flux due to its oscillating nature.


Does the flux changes due to change in the load in a transformer?

Yes, the two things that chage the number of flux lines in a transformer(electromagnet) are the number of turns in the windings and the amount of current flow


How do you reduce a 230v ac transformer to produce 140v ac?

By using step-down transformer


What does a flux density do in a single phase tramsformer?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.In an AC system the voltage alternates 120 times a second. This alternation causes the magnetic field that surrounds the wire in the primary coil to rise and collapse along with the voltage. This magnetic field is also known as magnetic flux. When the flux collapses and rises in the primary winding of the transformer this flux cuts the secondary coils and induces a current to flow in the secondary winding of the transformer. Depending on the amount of coil turns in the secondary, the AC voltage can be higher (step up) or lower (step down) than the primary voltage.
