Self-inductance (L)
Unit of Inductance
The inductance, L is measured in henries. The magnitude of
L depends on the geometry of the coil and on the core
material.
By wrapping the coil around a ferromagnetic (iron) core, the
magnetic flux and therefore the inductance can be increased
substantially relative to that for an air core.
Because of their self-inductance, coils are known as
inductors and are widely used in electronics.
Inductors come in all sizes, typically in the range between
millihenries and microhenries.
22.9 Transformers
A transformer is a device for increasing or decreasing an ac
voltage.
Power Transmission
Transformer
A transformer consists of two coils, a primary and a secondary,
wound around a soft iron core
The two coils are linked by the magnetic field.
The soft iron core will provide a medium by which the
magnetic flux from the primary coil is transferred to the
secondary coil.
Transformers are designed so that nearly all the magnetic flux
from the primary coil is transferred to the secondary coil.
Transformer Equations
Using Faradays law we can write expressions for the
primary and secondary voltages as follows.
