Electrical Engineering Explained In 5 Seconds!
I think Electrical Engineering isn't very complicated. All you need to know and understand is just one equation : V=IR. Though this is a simple equation, not many really can visualise it. Here's a picture that will explain this very basic concept in just 5 seconds. Electrical engineering will become a LOT easier if you understand this -
PS: Not exactly a technical topic; but I thought this would be the most appropriate section because it's all about 'basics', you see.

You have to replace resistance by impedance, which is AC resistance in a sense. -

ya..... mutual inductance is playin a gr8 role in transformers..... ya i agree ur point ๐The_Big_KUltimately, Electrical engineering is all about Current, Voltage and Resistance; right? -

sir transformer doesnt obeys ohm law......... am sure about it ..... .....becoz in transformer ratio....voltage and current ratio are inversely proportional sir ๐bioramaniWhy not?

All the transitions take place in constant power scenario only and so it does obey Ohm's law -

Even if we take Mutual inducatnce principle also there is Ohmic rule in itbioramaniConsider the two windings separately.
And to simplify the issue we can assume independent windings -

lalWell, transformer is a machine. It works on mutual induction. The process it does is to step up or step down voltages. The turns ration and mutual induction are all dependent on what a transformer does, its work, its use. Just like a motor as a machine is used to convert electrical energy to mechanical energy.
But, for a current to flow through any of the windings in the transformer, you must apply a potential difference. The current will be directly proportional to the potential difference applied across the winding. Bingo!! there is Ohms law. Being AC, there is impedance instead of just resistance. -

why not non linear devices?, all kind of devices accept this law right? or am i mistaken at some point?jeffrey samuelExcept non linear devices all the other devices comes into this list only -

we leave that...... but according to ohms law...current and voltage should be directly proportional.. if we see in transformer ratio........ it is in inverse......why and how ???? thats the great doubt,,,!!!!! my lecturers told that is due to mutual inductance.. !!!!!!!!......could you please clarify me sir..... ๐bioramaniConsider the two windings separately. -
Ramani AswathThink of it this way. First of all there can be no induction unless a current flows. A flowing current set up a magnetic field. An AC sets up a cyclic field. The induced voltage in the second coil will depend on the inductance (which is proportional to the number of turns) of the second coil.
If you have n turns in the primary, you get 1/n times the primary voltage in the secondary for every turn. If you have n turns in the secondary also the voltage in the secondary is the same as the primary and you have what is called an isolation transformer. The secondary voltage is floating and not referred to ground.

For an ideal transformer
VpIp=VsIs
This is a direct effect of Ohms law -

Power in primary equalling the power developed in secondary. Well, I dont think there is Ohm's law in effect there. Power is transferred by induction. Or say varying magnetic fluxes created by the primary winding linking with the secondary transfers power to secondary. Since almost the complete flux generated by varying primary current links with the secondary winding, the power transferred is very high too, almost cent percent efficiency.jeffrey samuelHey friend you are failing to understand this each side the conversion takes place in terms of constant power

Transformer is an energy conversion device. The reason that primary power equals the secondary power is because of energy conservation. In a step up transformer, if the current was to increase with the voltage, then the energy in secondary will be higher than that in the primary. The law of energy conservation has the role here. To conserve energy, secondary current decreases so that, VpIp = VsIs. The converse is true for step down transformers. -
