The transformer — Supplement Learning Objectives

Summary
  • Explain the principle of operation of a simple iron-cored transformer
  • Recall and use the equation for 100% efficiency in a transformer Ip Vp = Is Vs where p and s refer to primary and secondary
  • Recall and use the equation P = I^2 R to explain why power losses in cables are smaller when the voltage is greater
