A single-phase transformer is an electrical device that uses electromagnetic induction to convert electrical energy from one circuit to another. It consists of two windings, known as the primary winding and the secondary winding, which are separated by a core made of a magnetic material.
The operation of a single-phase transformer is based on the principles of electromagnetic induction. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic field that cuts across the secondary winding. This changing magnetic field induces a voltage in the secondary winding, which causes a current to flow in the secondary circuit.
The voltage and current in the secondary winding are related to the voltage and current in the primary winding by the turns ratio of the transformer. The turns ratio is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding. If the turns ratio is Np:Ns, where Np is the number of turns in the primary winding and Ns is the number of turns in the secondary winding, then the voltage and current in the secondary winding are related to the voltage and current in the primary winding by the equation:
V_s = \frac{N_s}{N_p} V
_p I_s = \frac{N_p}{N_s
