Transformers
Transformers
A step down
transformer REDUCES
the voltage in a circuit.
The input voltage is
higher than the output
voltage.
e.g. transformers found
in electrical substations
Transformers
A step up transformer
increases the voltage in
a circuit.
The input voltage is
lower than the output
voltage.
e.g. transformers used
to convert USA voltage
to UK voltage
Collect an experiment
sheet and carry out
your own investigation
into transformers.

Worked example
A transformer has 960 turns on the primary
coil and 16 turns on the secondary coil. The
primary coil is connected to 230V a.c.. What
will be the output?
secondary voltage
=
16
230 V
960
So the secondary voltage = 230 X (16/960)
=
