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.
Es / Ep = - Ns / Np ______________ (3)
Ip = E – Ep / Rp
E – Ep = Ip Rp
Thus back e.m.f = input e.m.f
Es / Ep = Es / E
= output e.m.f / input e.m.f
= Ns / Np = K
Where K is constant, called turn on transformation ratio.

In a step-down transformer, There are many turns on the
secondary winding than in the primary winding in the step
step-up
transformers. Thus, the voltage supplied in the secondary
transformer is greater than the one supplied across the primary
winding. Because of the principl
principlee of conservation of energy, the
transformer converts low voltage, high
high-current
current to high voltage-
voltage
low current. In other words, the voltage has been stepped up.
Step-down
down transformers are mostly used to convert the 220 volts
electricity to the 110 volts re
required
quired in most domestic equipment.
equipment
Iron Rod
Copper Wire
Hot Wire Ammeter
Hot Wire Voltmeter
Take thick iron rod and cover it with a thick paper and
wind a large number of turns of thin Cu wire on thick paper
(say 60). This constitutes primary coil of the transformer.
Connect p1, p2 to A.C main and measure the input voltage and
current using A.C voltmeter and ammeter respectively.
Now connect s1and s2to A.C main and again measure voltage
and current through primary and secondary coil of step up
transformer.
