The transformer is a device used for converting a low
alternating voltage to a high alternating voltage or
vice-versa.
****
A transformer which increases
the voltages.
A transformer which
decreases the A.C. voltages.
When an altering e.m.f. is supplied to the primary
coil p1p2, an alternating current starts falling in
it. The altering current in the primary produces a
changing magnetic flux, which induces altering
voltage in the primary as well as in the secondary. In
a good-transformer, whole of the magnetic flux
linked with primary is also linked with the secondary,
and then the induced
e.m.f. induced in each turn of the secondary is equal
to that induced in each turn of the primary. Thus if
Ep and Es be the instantaneous values of the e.m.f.’s
induced in the primary and the secondary and Np and Ns
are the no. of turns of the primary secondary coils of
the transformer and
Ep = -Np dф/dt___________________(1)
and
Es = -Ns dф/dt___________________(2)
Since the above relations are true at every instant, so
by dividing 2 by 1, we get
Es / Ep = - Ns / Np__________________(3)
Ip = E – Ep / Rp
E – Ep = Ip Rp
Thus back e.m.f = input e.m.f
written as Es / Ep = Es / E

In a step-down transformer, There are many turns on
the secondary winding than in the primary winding in
the step-up transformers. Thus, the voltage supplied in
the secondary
transformer is greater than the one supplied across the
primary
winding. Because of the principle of conservation of
energy, the
transformer converts low voltage, high-current to high
voltage-
low current. In words, the voltage has stepped up.
