Lesson objectives
Students should be able to
Define Transformer
Describe the construction and working of transformer
Explain about step-up and step-down transformer
Use the transformer equation Cross Curricular Links & Real life Applications : Cross Curricular Links Links with Chemistry- rectifier transformers are used for electrolysis process of metal or chemical industries
Real life Applications
Audio transformers are specially designed to be used in audio circuits.
A LAN Ethernet transformer is most often used to allow voice and data networking to be done over the same wires
A lighting transformer is one that is used specifically in applications having to do with lighting. They are commonly seen on dimmer switches.
