Electromagnetic induction is the

production of an electromotive force (e.m.f.) in a conductor when there is a relative motion between
the conductor and the magnetic field.

Direct Current Current that flows in one direction only Alternating Current Current that changes direction after a certain period Produces heat when it Produces heat when it passes through a resistor passes through a resistor Cannot pass through a Can pass through a capacitor capacitor Voltage cannot be increased Voltage can be increased or or decreased by using a decreased by using a transformer transformer

 When primary coil of an ideal transformer is connected to 12 V a.c supply, the current is 2.0 A. If the output voltage is 400 V, what is the current in secondary coil?

 A transformer is required to step down the mains voltage of 240 V provide a 12 V supply for an electric toy. If the primary coil is wound with1 000 turns of wire, calculate the number of turns required for the secondary coil.

 A step up transformer has 10 000 turns on its secondary coil and 100 turns on its primary coil. An alternating current of 5.0 A flows in the primary coil when it is connected to a 12 V a.c supply. Calculate: (a) the input power to the transformer (b) the e.m.f induced across the secondary coil. (c) What is the maximum current that could flow in a circuit connected to the secondary coil if the transformer is 100% efficient.
