Flux: initially the flux is t a maximum to the right, Transformer: VpIp=VsIs

after a quarter turn this decreases to zero, then Vp/Vs=Np/Ns

To achieve change in flux: Calculating (RMS) values:
If we have more coils on the secondary will create step up

Rotating the coil Transformer: Relies on having primary, secondary coil and

Faster change in flux = smaller time Magnetic field is bent around from primary coil through

Transmission of power: As the electricity passes through
0.001tesla = 1 militesla the wires, this causes the wire to heat up, resulting in
0.001Volts = 1 miliVolts power loss and decrease on the voltage that is available
1 kilo volts = 1000 volts at the load.
0.01m = 1cm
1 mega tesla = 1000000 tesla Power loss can be reduced by lowering the current in the
1 ms = 0.001 s line.
1 kA = 1000A
To convert km/h to m/s -> P loss = I^2R
divide by 3.6
Voltage drop = I*R

To calculate total voltage supplied

V supply= V load + V drop

To calculate difference between voltage

V difference = V supply – V drop
