If we connect a load to the secondary winding, then an electric current flows through it due to the emf. This flux will then induce an EMF in the secondary winding. The winding that receives electric power is known as Primary Winding and the coil that delivers power to a load is known as Secondary Winding.Īccording to Faraday’s Law, when we supply an alternating voltage to the primary winding, it generates an alternating magnetic flux in the core. Hence, a transformer consists of a magnetic core built using laminated steel. Transformer with just two coils floating in air is not that effective in transferring energy.
The energy in one coil is transferred to another coil through magnetic field (mutual induction). A simple transformer consists of just two conducting coils. The Transformer is a static equipment that works on the principle of Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction.
