Experiment # 1:-

To study the working of step

down transformer.

(1)Transformer
An apparatus for reducing or increasing the voltage of an
alternating current
An A.C. device used to change high voltage low current
A.C. into low voltage high current A.C. and vice-versa
without changing the frequency
In brief,
1. Transfers electric power from one circuit to another.
2. It does so without a change of frequency.
3. It accomplishes this by electromagnetic induction.
4. Where the two electric circuits are in mutual inductive
influence of each other.

(2)Principle Of Operation
It is based on principle of MUTUAL
INDUCTION. According to which an
e.m.f. is induced in a coil when current in
the neighboring coil changes

(3)Working of a Transformer
1. When current in the primary coil changes
being alternating in nature, a changing
magnetic field is produced.
2. This changing magnetic field gets associated
with the secondary through the soft iron core
3. Hence magnetic flux linked with the
secondary coil changes.
4. Which induces e.m.f. in the secondary.

(4)Apparatus : Transformer
AC Voltage supply
Digital Multimeter (DMM)

(6)Precautions:
1. The connections should be neat and tight.
2. The voltmeters, ammeters, are in suitable
range.
3. While doing the experiment do not exceed the
ratings of the transformer. This may lead to
damage of the transformer.
4. Conform the primary and secondary side of the
transformer.
5. Do not switch ON the power supply unless you
have checked the circuit connections as per the
circuit diagram.
