The transformer is a device used for converting a low
alternating voltage to a high alternating voltage or vice-versa.
A Transformer based on the Principle of mutual induction
according to this principle, the amount of magnetic flux linked
with a coil changing, an e.m.f is induced in the neighboring coil.

A transformer which increases the
voltages.
Es / Ep = - Ns / Np ______________ (3)
Ip = E – Ep / Rp
E – Ep = Ip Rp
Thus back e.m.f = input e.m.f
Es / Ep = Es / E
= output e.m.f / input e.m.f
= Ns / Np = K
Where K is constant, called turn on transformation ratio.

In a step-down transformer, There are many turns on the secondary
winding than in the primary winding in the step-up transformers.
Thus, the voltage supplied in the secondary transformer is greater
than the one supplied across the primary winding. Because of the
principle of conservation of energy, the transformer converts low
voltage, high-current to high voltage- low current. In other words, the
voltage has been stepped up.
You can find step-up transformers located near power plants
that are designed to operate megawatts of power. Apart from the
power plants, step-up transformers can also be used for local
and smaller applications such as x-ray machine which requires
about 50,000 Volts to work. Even a micro-wave oven requires a small
step-up transformer to operate.
In a step-down transformer is one who secondary windings are fewer
than the primary windings. In other words, the transformer’s
secondary voltage is less than the primary voltage. So, the transformer
is designed to convert high-voltage, low-current power into a low-
voltage, high current power and it is mainly used in domestic
consumption.
A common case of step-down application is in the case of door
bells. Normally, door bells use 16 volts, but most household power
circuits carry 110-120 volts. Therefore, the doorbell’s step-down
transformer receives the 110 Volts required in most domestic
equipment.

Hot Wire Voltmeter
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 (say 60). This
constitutes primary coil of the transformer.
