what are the 4 steps of a transformer working?
close switch allows current to flow.
iron core becomes magnetised- little magnets point same way- lines of magnetic flux.
change in magnetic field in coil- field lines cut.
produces an induced potential difference and if there is a closed circuit a current flows.
what type of current is passed through the coil?
alternating current.
what does a transformer produce, where?
alternating magnetic field in the iron core.
what do the flux lines of the alternating magnetic field do?
pass through and cut the secondary coil.
what does the transformer process induce?
alternating potential difference in the secondary coil.
