A transformer is a _____ device.

A. Static
B. Dynamic
C. Static and Dynamic
D. None of the above

Answer 
A. Static

Explanation 
  • A transformer is a static electrical machine that transfers AC electric power from one circuit to another circuit at a constant frequency.
  • A transformer is a static device that converts electrical power from one circuit to another without changing its frequency. So that input and out supply frequency always remain the same.
  • Thus for a given 50 Hz input supply frequency, the output supply frequency is 50 Hz.
  • A Transformer is used to convert low voltage (or high current) to high voltage (or low current) and high voltage to low voltage.
  • It works on the principle of mutual induction.
  • The primary coil has Np turns. The other coil, called the secondary coil, has Ns turns.
  • Generally, the primary coil works as the input coil and the secondary coil works as the output coil of the transformer.
  • When an AC voltage is applied to the primary coil, the resulting current produces an alternating magnetic flux that links the secondary coil and induces an emf in it. The value of this emf depends on the number of turns in the secondary.
  • In a transformer, the load is connected to the secondary coil while the primary coil of a transformer is connected to an AC source.
  • Mutual induction: By a change in the current in a circuit that is linked to another by the flux lines of a magnetic field, the production of an electromotive force in the circuit is called mutual induction.
