What is the transformer?
The transformer is made up of an iron core (or magnetic core) and one or more windings of a coil. The primary winding of the coil, which is linked to the power source, is referred to as the primary coil, and the remaining windings are referred to as the secondary coil.The simplest iron core transformer consists of two coils with unequal numbers of turns mounted on the core and a core made of soft magnetic material.
The core's function is to make the magnetic coupling between the two coils stronger.The core is made of a laminated silicon steel sheet that has been coated; there is no electrical connection between the two coils, and the coils are wound using insulated copper (or aluminum) wire to reduce eddy currents and hysteresis losses in the iron. The primary coil (or primary coil) is the coil connected to the AC power source, and the secondary coil is the coil connected to the appliance (or secondary coil).
