Transformer Basics

Transformers can only work using

• AC current

• DC current

• Iron

• wood

The direction of the current will alternate backwards and forwards

• to amp up and get more power

• for a little while

• with the rotation of the generator

• until something gets electrocuted

DC current behaves different than AC current because the magnetic field

• is bigger

• remains constant

• fluctuates

• is smaller

Two ways to increase the strength of the magnetic field is to (choose 2)

• place multiple cables together and add a current

• hold it up really high in the air

• add water

• add coils to the cable

Constantly changing the intensity and polarity of the magnetic field keeps the electrons to moving,

known as

• Electromagnetic pulse (EMP)

• Electric voltage field (EVF)

• electromotive force (EMF)

• Electrophoto field (EPF)

The purpose of the ferromagnetic (iron) core is to

• prevent electrocution

• make it easier to work on

• make it look nicer

• prevent waste

Step up and step down transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage simply by

• increasing or decreasing the number of turns on the secondary side

• going up and down a flight of stairs

• adding a lithium battery

• increasing or decreasing the number of turns on the primary side

To make the electricity suitable for use in residential homes,

• the power will have to go through a step up transformer

• the power will have to go through a side step transformer

• the power will have to go through a step down transformer

• the power will have to go through a step house transformer

To connect the two sides, the coils are commonly connected in a configuration known as

• Alpha Beta

• Delta Sigma

• Kappa Delta

• Delta Wye
