Transformers

A transformer consists of

• Metal Core

• Metal core and coiled wire

• Metal core and polymer wire

• Polymer core and metal wire

Transformer is device that

• converts AC voltage to current

• converts electrical energy to kinetic energy

• converts AC voltage to a different level at the same amplitude

• converts AC voltage to a different level at the same frequency

Select the facts about transformer.

• Will not work with DC and AC

• Will not work with DC

• AC will produce change in magnetic field

• AC will induce current

Is the core insulated?

• Yes

• No

The insulation at the transformer's core is meant for

• to avoid sharp edges.

• to avoid corrosion.

• to avoid electrical contact.

• to reduce power loss.
