Students should be able to
Define Transformer
Describe the construction and working of transformer
Applications of transformer
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.

Describethe working of a transformer
Teacher facilitates the students to recollect major points related to the previous topic.
Teacher will ask the students to research in groups.
Teacher facilitates the students to explain that transformersis used to increase or decrease the voltage of an electricity supply Teacher facilitates students to do the recap of the session . Students recall the definitions & concepts related the previous topic. Students interact among themselves and make research on transformer. Students work in groups and discusses about the working of transformers by electro magnetic induction
Brain storming session
Quiz . Enquiry, Research & Critical Thinking Skills--- Predict how all component voltages and currents in transformer circuit will be affected as a result of the following faults. 1)Transformer primary winding fails open: 2)Transformer secondary winding fails open:
Lesson Evaluation
Notes for next session http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/worksheets/trans1.html
Transformer T 1 primary winding fails open: No current through any component, no voltage across any secondary-side component.
Transformer T 1 primary winding fails shorted: Large current through fuse (which will cause it to blow), little current through secondary winding or load, little voltage across secondary winding or load.
Transformer T 1 secondary winding fails open: No current through any secondary-side component, no voltage across any secondary-winding component, little current through primary winding.
Load fails shorted: Large current through fuse (which will cause it to blow), large current through secondary winding and load, little voltage across secondary winding or load.
