A transformer is the primary device which transforms voltage to a higher or lower voltage. In electronics, capacitors and resistors perform this function.

Can you use transformer in place of amplifier?
A transformer is a passive device while an amplifier is an active device. a transformer can amplify voltage but never power WHILE AN AMPLIFIER CAN amplify power's can you use it sure withing the limitation of the transformer and only to amplify volts.
Why is the motor of the transformer locked?
The only motor associated with a transformer is an on-line tap changing mechanism motor! So your question doesn't really make any sense!
What is difference between ICT and Transformers in power system?
A CT is a measuring device but does not step up or step down voltage like a transformer will.
What causes a low voltage in the transformer?
If this refers to a wire wound transformer, as it sounds then there is likely only two possibilities : the input voltage has dropped prier to entering the primary windings or there is a short in the windings some where within.The only other possibility I can think of is : This is a trick question and the transformer is a step down transformer.
What type of transformer has only a single winding?
the auto transformer is the one winding transformer. it ismaily used in practical purpose.
Will a 30 watt transformer damage a device needing only 15 watts?
No, the rating of the transformer, in watts, is the maximum amount of energy that can be safely drawn from the device. Any wattage load up to that limit is safe to connect as long as the voltage is correct to the load.
How a transformer is very useful in ac supply?
Transformer is the only device which is capable to stepup or stepdown an ac signal. That's why its used widely in ac supply.
Is a device that changes the voltage of an alternating current with little loss of energy?
The device you are referring to is called a transformer. Not only can a transformer increase voltage, it can decrease voltage as well. These are known as a step up transformer for increasing voltages and step down for decreasing voltages.
A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease dc voltage?
The answer below this is not correct, a transformer can only be used on AC not DC. So the statement, "A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease DC voltage" is false The above comment relates to an entry which was obviously deleted. However, the above comment is also false. The ignition coil in of a petrol engine is a transformer, a pulse transformer. It's d.c. which passes through the primary, not a.c. <<>> A: this is a passive component as opposed to a device that is active answer is yes it does that but more importantly it isolates and match in/out impedance's
Do you have to use a transformer if your device have 900 Watts 220 V and 60 Hz with 7.5 amps?
If your device uses 900 Watts at 7.5 Amps, then it requires 120 volts. If you want to use it where the supplied current is 220 volts, then you'll need a transformer - but only if the device can operate on 50 Hz. Most places that use 220 Volts supply it at 50 Hz. If your device says it can operate on 50 Hz you can use a transformer.
Why is a transformer necessary?
A transformer is not 'necessary'. The human race evolved, and developed cultures, societies, disease resistance, and technology, without ever seeing a transformer. But there are specific situations in which desirable things can be accomplished much more effectively and efficiently with a transformer than with any other device or method. Here are a couple of examples: -- If the voltage you have available is not the voltage you need, then you can use a transformer to make the change. (But that only works for AC.) -- You can use a transformer to change the output impedance of an amplifier to the impedance of the speaker or earbuds you want to use with it.
Can you use transformer in place of amplifier?
A transformer is a passive device while an amplifier is an active device. a transformer can amplify voltage but never power WHILE AN AMPLIFIER CAN amplify power's can you use it sure withing the limitation of the transformer and only to amplify volts.
Does a transformer convert AC to DC?
No, a transformer only converts AC voltage to a different voltage level. To convert AC to DC, a rectifier is typically used in conjunction with a transformer to change the alternating current to direct current.
Why is the motor of the transformer locked?
The only motor associated with a transformer is an on-line tap changing mechanism motor! So your question doesn't really make any sense!
A transformer can only?
A transformer does many things.
What is difference between ICT and Transformers in power system?
A CT is a measuring device but does not step up or step down voltage like a transformer will.
How do you convert 115 volt into 230 volt?
The only way to do that is with a transformer. They make inline transformers that convert 230 to 115 and they simply plug in inline.
