Summary

DescriptionTransformer3d col3.svg	English: Idealised single-phase transformer also showing the path of magnetic flux through the core. Magnetic flux is produced by the primary winding, and contained by the high permeability core, links the secondary winding. The mutual inductance between the two windings results in an induced voltage on the secondary side, whose magnitude is determined by the ratio of turns between the two windings.

2006-08-25 03:12 Omegatron 763×573×0 (41111 bytes) Fixing voltage on secondary, changing notation to typical polarity symbols instead of arrows
2006-04-01 15:35 BillC 750×563×0 (37207 bytes) Hopefully fixed transparency and arrow problems this time
2006-03-31 18:01 BillC 750×563×0 (35530 bytes) Transparent background was causing problems with some browsers, so replace with white
2006-02-01 16:07 BillC 750×563×0 (35530 bytes) Secondary current arrow was facing wrong way
