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.
No, a transformer does not change AC to DC. For this purpose there is a device known as a rectifier, and to transform it back to AC from DC you'll need an inverter. Transformers are only useful with AC due to the alternating waveform which induces a voltage in the secondary winding (when it is connected to a load).
A step up transformer is used to step up an AC voltage
No, a transformer changes the ac to a voltage that the user requires. After that a rectifier can be connected to it to provide dc.
A transformer must be connected to an alternating current (AC) supply of the correct voltage.
You can use a step-down transformer to convert the 120V AC input to 6V AC output. Look for a transformer that can handle at least 9 Watts output power, to ensure compatibility with your device. Make sure to double-check the specifications and ensure the transformer meets your power requirements before making a purchase.
Transformer works with varying flux. DC won't create it. Only AC produce varying 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.
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.
trf cannot work on dc. the primary flux must vary for induction to occur in the secondary winding. howlunf
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.
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.
transformer will work on ac
A transformer changes the VOLTAGE of AC current (AC to AC). A rectifier changes AC to 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.
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
By using step-down transformer
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.
