The principle of operation of a single-phase transformer is based on the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction. A single-phase transformer consists of two windings, a primary winding and a secondary winding, which are wound around a magnetic core. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a fluctuating magnetic field in the core, which in turn induces an alternating voltage in the secondary winding. The voltage in the secondary winding is proportional to the number of turns in the winding and the magnitude of the magnetic field. This process, known as electromagnetic induction, allows the transformer to transfer electrical energy from the primary winding to the secondary winding without any physical connection between the two windings.
