A transformer (Prob. 7.57) takes an input AC voltage of amplitude V1, and delivers an output voltage of amplitude V2, which is determined by the turns ratio (V2V1=N2N1). If N2>N1, the output voltage is greater than the input voltage. Why doesn't this violate conservation of energy? Answer: Power is the product of voltage and current; if the voltage goes up, the current must come down. The purpose of this problem is to see exactly how this works out, in a simplified model.

(a) In an ideal transformer, the same flux passes through all turns of the primary and of the secondary. Show that in this case M2=L1L2, where Mis the mutual inductance of the coils, and L1,L2, are their individual self-inductances.

(b) Suppose the primary is driven with AC voltage Vin=V1cos(Ó¬t), and the secondary is connected to a resistor, R. Show that the two currents satisfy the relations

L1=dl1dt+Mdl2dt=V1cos(Ó¬t);L1=dl2dt+Mdl1dt=-I2R.

(c) Using the result in (a), solve these equations for localid="1658292112247" l1(t)and l2(t). (Assume l2has no DC component.)

(d) Show that the output voltage (Vout=l2R)divided by the input voltage (Vin)is equal to the turns ratio: VoutVin=N2N1.

(e) Calculate the input power localid="1658292395855" (Pin=Vinl1)and the output power (Pout=Voutl2), and show that their averages over a full cycle are equal.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The equation L1L2=M2is verified.

(c) The value of currents is I1(t)=V1L11Ó¬sinÓ¬t+L2RcosÓ¬tand I2(t)=-L2V1cosÓ¬tMR..

(d) The ratio VoutVin=-N2N1is verified.

(e) The input power is Pin=(V1)2L11Ó¬sinÓ¬tcosÓ¬t+L2Rcos2Ó¬t, output power is (L2V1)2M2Rcos2Ó¬tand their averages over a full cycle are equal.

Step by step solution

01

Determine the mutual inductance

The working of a transformer is based on the ‘mutual inductance’ principal. There are two coils in a transformer, primary and secondary coils.

When the current flows in the primary coil, based on ‘mutual inductance’ it induces a certain emf in the secondary coil which opposes the change in current.

02

Step 2(a): Relation between the mutual inductance and the individual self-inductances of the coils

Assume, the current flowing in the first and second coils of a transformer areI1andI2respectively.

Then the formula for the magnetic flux through the first coil is given by,

Φ1=I1L1+MI2N1Φ=I1L1+MI2Φ=I1L1N1+I2MN1

Here,role="math" localid="1658293363987" Φis the flux through one turn of the coil.

Similarly, the formula for the magnetic flux through the second coil is given by,

Φ2=I2L2+MI1N2Φ=I2L2+MI1Φ=I2L2N2+I1MN2

Combining both expressions,

I1L1N1+I2MN1=I2L2N2+I1MN2

If I1=0, then,

0+I2MN1=I2L2N2+0MN1=L2N2

If I2=0, then,

I1L1N1+0=0+I1MN2L1N1=MN2ML1=L2ML1L2=M2

Hence, the equation is verified.

03

Step 3(b): Verify the two current relations 

The formula for the emf induced in the first coil is given by,

-ε0=dΦ1dt-ε1=L1dl1dt+Mdl2dt-ε1=V1cosӬt

Similarly, the formula for the emf induced in the first coil is given by,

role="math" localid="1658294017369" -ε2=»åΦ2dt-ε2=L2dl2dt+Mdl1dt-ε2=-l2R

Hence proved, the two currents satisfy the relations.

04

Step 4(c): Solving equations for current values

The first relation is given as,

L1dI1dt+MdI2dt

Multiplying both sides byL2,

L1L2dI1dt+L2dI2dtM=L2V1cosÓ¬t

Substitute, L2dI2dt=-I2R-MdI1dt.

L1L2dI1dt+-I2R-M(dI1)dtM=L2V1cosÓ¬tM2dI1dt-MRI2-M2dI2dt=L2V1cosÓ¬tI2(t)=-L2V1cosÓ¬tMR

Differentiating both sides w.r.t. t.

dl2dt=ddt-L2V1cosÓ¬tMRdl2dt=L2V1cosÓ¬tMR

Substitute the value of dl2dtin first relation,

L1dI1dt+ML2V1Ó¬sinÓ¬tMR=V1cosÓ¬tL1dI1dt=V1cosÓ¬t-ML2V1Ó¬sinÓ¬tMRdI1dt=V1L1cosÓ¬t-L2rÓ¬sinÓ¬t

Integrating both sides,

I1(t)=V1L11Ó¬sinÓ¬t+L2RcosÓ¬t

Hence, the equation for currents I1tandI2t is explained.

05

Step 5(d): The ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage

The formula for the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage is given by,

VoutVin=I2RV1cosÓ¬t

Substitute value of I2.

VoutVin=-L2V1cosӬt×RMRV1cosӬtVoutVin=-L2MVoutVin=N2N1

Hence, the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage is-N2N1 .

06

Step 6(e): The input power, output power and their averages over a full cycle

The formula for the input power to the transformer is given by,

Pin=VnI1Pin=V1cosÓ¬tV1L11Ó¬sinÓ¬t+L2RcosÓ¬tPin=V12L11Ó¬sinÓ¬tcosÓ¬t+L2Rcos2Ó¬t

In the formula for the average power input Pinavgover the full cycle, Substitute the average value of cos2Ó¬t=12and sinÓ¬tcosÓ¬t=0in expression,

(Pin)avg=(V1)2L11Ӭ×0+L2R12(Pin)avg=12(V1)2L2L1R

And, the formula for the output power of the transformer is given by,

Pout=VoutI2Pout=I2RPout=L2V1M2Rcos2Ó¬t

Similarly, in the formula for the averagePoutavgpower output over the full cycle, Substitute the average value ofcos2Ó¬t=12andM2=L1L2 in expression.

Poutavg=L2V12L1L2R×12Poutavg=12V12l22L1L2RPoutavg=12V12L2L1R

Then comparing the average power input and output equations.

Poutavg-Poutavg-V12L22L1R

Hence proved, the average power over a full cycle is equal.

In a perfect conductor, the conductivity is infinite, so E=0(Eq. 7.3), and any net charge resides on the surface (just as it does for an imperfect conductor, in electrostatics).

(a) Show that the magnetic field is constant (∂B∂t=0), inside a perfect conductor.

(b) Show that the magnetic flux through a perfectly conducting loop is constant.

A superconductor is a perfect conductor with the additional property that the (constant) B inside is in fact zero. (This "flux exclusion" is known as the Meissner effect.)

(c) Show that the current in a superconductor is confined to the surface.

(d) Superconductivity is lost above a certain critical temperature (Tc), which varies from one material to another. Suppose you had a sphere (radius ) above its critical temperature, and you held it in a uniform magnetic field B0z^while cooling it below Tc. Find the induced surface current density K, as a function of the polar angleθ.

A certain transmission line is constructed from two thin metal "rib-bons," of width w, a very small distanceh≪w apart. The current travels down one strip and back along the other. In each case, it spreads out uniformly over the surface of the ribbon.

(a) Find the capacitance per unit length, C .

(b) Find the inductance per unit length, L .

(c) What is the product LC , numerically?[ L and C will, of course, vary from one kind of transmission line to another, but their product is a universal constantcheck, for example, the cable in Ex. 7.13-provided the space between the conductors is a vacuum. In the theory of transmission lines, this product is related to the speed with which a pulse propagates down the line: v=1/LC.]

(d) If the strips are insulated from one another by a non-conducting material of permittivity εand permeability εand permeability μ, what then is the product LC ? What is the propagation speed? [Hint: see Ex. 4.6; by what factor does L change when an inductor is immersed in linear material of permeabilityμ?]

A battery of emf εand internal resistance r is hooked up to a variable "load" resistance,R . If you want to deliver the maximum possible power to the load, what resistance R should you choose? (You can't change e and R , of course.)

An infinite cylinder of radius R carries a uniform surface charge σ. We propose to set it spinning about its axis, at a final angular velocity Ӭ. How much work will this take, per unit length? Do it two ways, and compare your answers:

(a) Find the magnetic field and the induced electric field (in the quasistatic approximation), inside and outside the cylinder, in terms of Ó¬,Ó¬,ands(the distance from the axis). Calculate the torque you must exert, and from that obtain the work done per unit length(W=∫±·»åÏ•).

(b) Use Eq. 7.35 to determine the energy stored in the resulting magnetic field.

An alternating current l=l0cos(wt)flows down a long straight wire, and returns along a coaxial conducting tube of radius a.

(a) In what direction does the induced electric field point (radial, circumferential, or longitudinal)?

(b) Assuming that the field goes to zero as s→∞, findE=(s,t).
