PROJECT REPORT IN PHYSICS FOR CLASS XII Backchodi
As Ep is the instantaneous value of back e.m.f induced in the primary coil p1, so the instantaneous
current in primary coil is due to the difference (E – Ep ) in the instantaneous values of the applied and
back
e.m.f. further if Rp is the resistance o, p1p2 coil, then the instantaneous current Ip in the primary coil is
given by
Ip = E – Ep / Rp
E – Ep = Ip Rp
When the resistance of the primary is small, Rp Ip can be neglected so therefore
E – Ep = 0 or Ep = E
Thus, back e.m.f = input e.m.f
Hence equation 3 can be written as
Es / Ep = Es / E
= output e.m.f / input e.m.f
= Ns / Np = K , Where K is constant, called turn or transformation ratio.
Circuit Diagram
Procedure
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 (say60). This constitutes primary coil of the transformer.
Cover the primary coil with a sheet of paper and wound relatively smaller number of
turns (say 20) of thick copper wire on it. This constitutes the secondary coil. It is a
step-down transformer.
Connect p1, p2 to A.C main and measure the input voltage and current using A.C
voltmeter and ammeter respectively.
Similarly, measure the output voltage and current through s1and s2.
Now connect s1and s2to A.C main and again measure voltage and current through
primary and secondary coil of step-up transformer.
Repeat all steps for other self-made transformers by changing number of turns in
primary and secondary coil.
Observation
• No. of turns in primary , NP = 60
• No. of turns In secondary , NS = 20
Applications of Transformer
A transformer is used in almost all a.c. operations:
➢ In voltage regulator for Televisions , refrigerator , computer , air
conditioner , etc.
➢ A step down transformer is used for welding purposes.
➢ A step down transformer is used for obtaining large current.
➢ A step-up transformer is used for the production of X-Rays and NEON
advertisements.
➢ Transformers are used in the transmissions of a.c over long distances.
➢ Small transformers are used in Radio sets, telephones , loud speakers,
and electric bells, etc.
Result
1. Clearly ES/EP = NS/NP within experimental error .
2. The output voltage of the transformer across the secondary coil
depends on the ratio (Ns/Np) with respect to input voltage.
3. There is a loss of power between input and output coil of a
transformer
Sources of Error
• Values of current can be changed due to heating effect .
• Eddy current can change the readings.
