Learning Objectives
1. Understand the meaning of instantaneous and average power,
master AC power notation, and compute average power for AC
circuits. Compute the power factor of a complex load.
2. Learn complex power notation; computer apparent, real, and
reactive power for complex loads. Draw the power triangle, and
compute the capacitor size required to perform power factor
correction on a load.
3. Analyze the ideal transformer; compute primary and secondary
currents and voltages and turns ratios. Calculate reflected sources
and impedances across ideal transformers. Understand maximum
power transfer.

Transformers
A transformer is a device that couples two AC circuits
magnetically rather than through any direct conductive
connection and permits a transformation of the
voltage and current between one circuit and the other.
