1) Go to the following site:
http://micro.magnet.fsu.edu/electromag/java/transformer/
Briefly explain the operation of a transformer.
Set the following parameters:
a) Input voltage = minimum
Primary winding = minimum
Secondary winding = maximum.
What is the measured output voltage?
What should the output voltage be by calculation? (show calculation)
If the input current is 5.0 A, what is the output current? (show calculation)
What is your assumption in doing the current calculation?
Repeat the experiment above but change the input voltage to maximum (don't forget to include current calculation).
b) Set the input voltage to maximum. Set the primary winding to maximum and the secondary winding to minimum.
What is the measured output voltage?
What should the output voltage be by calculation? (show calculation)
What is the output current? (show calculation)
