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.
AC flux in a transformer refers to the alternating magnetic field that is generated when an alternating current flows through the primary winding. This changing magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, allowing for the transfer of electrical energy from one coil to another. The AC flux is essential for the transformer to function and facilitate the conversion of voltage levels.
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.
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.
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.
In a Transformer, Core flux is the difference of primary flux and Secondary flux which are opposite to each other in direction. There difference is equal to the no load flux at all loads. So, some of primary flux passes through the core and remaining becomes leakage flux (Because Secondary flux forces it to get out of the core). Same is the case with Secondary flux. Now, flux is directly proportional to Voltage and Current. When Current increases due to increased load (and voltage remains same): Then both primary and secondary flux increase. Because both of them increase, so there difference remains same. And all remaining flux is forced out. Hence leakage flux increases with current, but Core flux remains constant. When Primary Voltage is increased: Then only primary flux increases. So difference of this new increased primary flux and previous same secondary flux increases. Hence Core flux increases with voltage, But leakage flux does not. That's how In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current.
