4 Deriving the equation for a transformer
Two coils are wrapped around a cylindrical form in such a way that the same flux passes through every turn of both coils. (In practice this is achieved by inserting an iron core through the cylinder; this has the effect of concentrating the flux.) The primary coil has N1 turns and the secondary has N2(Fig.3). If the current I in the primary is changing, show that the emf in the secondary is given by
E2E1=N2N1
where E1 is the (back) emf of the primary.
[This is a primitive transformer-a device for raising or lowering the emf of an alternating current source. By choosing the appropriate number of turns, any desired secondary emf can be obtained.]
