Practical Course: The Transformer


I. Objectives
1. To measure the voltage in the secondary coil of the transformer.
2. To determine the ratio between the respective number of turns of the primary and
secondary coils.

II. Apparatus:
One DC power supply, two Digital multi-meter (DMM), banana plugs wire connections
and the transformer setup.

III. Theory
A transformer is usually consists of two coils which are inductively coupled by an iron
core. Transformers are used to change the voltage amount of alternating currents. The
frequency of the voltage is not changed by the conversion 1.
The input lines connect to the primary coil, while the output lines connect to the
secondary coil. The alternating current in the primary coil induces an alternating magnetic
flux that flows around the ferromagnetic core. The alternating flux in the core in turn
induces an alternating current in the secondary coil. Regardless of the physical design of
the transformer, the voltage transformation of an ideal transformer without load is
determined by the ratio of the respective number of turns 1:

(V2 / V1) = (N2 / N1) ………………………………………………………………..... ( 1)

Where, V1: voltage of primary coil, V2: voltage of secondary coil, N1 : number of turns of
primary coil, and N2 : number of turns of secondary coil. The transformer is shown in figure
1 below.

IV. Experimental procedure and data analysis


 Connect the circuit in figure 1 with the ratio N1 : N2 300 : 150
 Take three readings of the Voltage between 2 Volt – 10 Volt, and each time measure the
secondary voltage V2.
 Each time verify equation 1. Fill your data in Table 1.

V1 V2 V2 / V1 N2 / N1

Table 1

 Repeat the experiment with the ratio N1 : N2 150 : 300 and Fill your data in Table 2.
