Did You Know That Transformers Rely Entirely on Invisible Magnetic Flux?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • An alternating current in the primary coil creates a changing magnetic flux in the core.
  • This flux induces a voltage in the secondary coil through electromagnetic induction.
  • The core channels the flux efficiently, minimizing loss.
  • Transformers can step voltage up or down without moving parts.
