‘The relative polarity of windings sharing a common magnetic circuit is defined in international standards.
If the core flux induces an instantaneous emf from a low numbered terminal to a high numbered
terminal (for example) in one winding, then the direction of induced emf in all other windings linked by
that flux will also be from a low numbered terminal to a high numbered terminal. Note that for
transformer action the current flow in the windings is in opposite directions.
