The sou rce of altl~rn ating voltage or current is an .ac generator or ac dynamo , The em 1s in
of ac generator at any instant of time 't' is
E=Eo sin OJt
The potential difference across the terminals of the generator is V= V0 sin OJ!
V-instantaneous value
V0 - maximum or peak value of potential difference
The variation of V during one complete rotatio·n of the coil is called a cycle of alternating voltage.
The number of cycles of alternating voltage produced in one second is equal to V and it is called frequency
of alternating voltage.
The alternating current.through the resistance R connected to the terminals of the ac generator is

TRANSFORMERS:
A transformer is a device used to change alternating voltages to any-desired value OR
A tr_ansformer is a device to step-up or step down the ac voltage and its works on the principle of mutual
induction.
A transformer consists of two coils of insulated wire wound separately over a laminated iron core.
· The ac voltage to be altered is fed to the primary and the altered ac voltage is obtained across the
~econdary.s
. When an alternating current flows in prim~ry ,it sets up a changing magnetic flux which ,gets linked with
the secondary .Let N 5 and Np pe the number of turns in.the.secondary and the primary respectively .
· Then the induced secondary voltage V5 is related to the primary voltage Vp by the· refation, ·
