3. 13.1 What is a transformer? (1)
It is an electrical device designed on the basis of the concept of magnetic coupling.
It uses magnetically coupled coils to transfer energy from one circuit to another.
It is the key circuit elements for stepping up or stepping down ac voltages or currents, impedance matching, isolation, etc.

4. 13.2 Mutual Inductance (1)
It is the ability of one inductor to induce a voltage across a neighboring inductor, measured in henrys (H).
Open circuit Mutual inductance (or induced voltage) across coil 2.
Open circuit Mutual inductance (or induced voltage) across coil 1.
M21 = Mutual inductance of coil 2 with respect to coil 1.
M12 = Mutual inductance of coil 1 with respect to coil 2.

5. 13.2 Mutual Inductance (2)
If a current enters the dotted terminal of one coil, the reference polarity of the mutual voltage in the second coil is positive at the dotted terminal of the second coil.
Illustration of the dot convention.

10. 13.3 Energy in a Coupled Circuit (1)
The coupling coefficient, k, is a measure of the magnetic coupling between two coils; 0≤k≤1.
The instantaneous energy stored in the circuit is given by
Positive sign for mutual term if both currents enter or leave the dotted terminals. Negative sign if otherwise.

12. 13.5 Ideal Transformer (1) A transformer is said to be ideal if:
Coils have very large reactances (L1, L2, M )
Coupling coefficient is equal to unity (k = 1)
Primary and secondary coil are loss less (R1 = 0 = R2)
An ideal transformer is a unity-coupled, lossless transformer in which the primary and secondary coils have infinite self-inductances.

16. 13.5 Ideal Transformer (5)
V1 can be expressed in terms of V2 and I1 in terms of I2, or vice versa: or

Since , we get

18. 13.5 Ideal Transformer (7)
Input impedance is also known as reflected impedance, since it appears as if load impedance is reflected to primary side.
Common practice in analyzing circuit with ideal transformer is to eliminate transformer by reflecting impedances and sources from one side of the transformer to the other.

Example: Want to reflect secondary side of circuit below to primary side:
Find Thevenin equivalent of circuit to the right of terminals a-b. (i.e. Obtain VTh as open-circuit voltage at terminals a-b).
Get ZTh by removing voltage source at secondary winding and insert a unit source at terminals a-b.

22. 13.5 Ideal Transformer (11)
The general rule for eliminating the transformer and reflecting the secondary circuit to the primary side is: divide the secondary impedance by n2, divide the secondary voltage by n, and multiply the secondary current by n.

23. 13.5 Ideal Transformer (12)
The general rule for eliminating the transformer and reflecting the primary circuit to the secondary side is: multiply the primary impedance by n2, multiply the primary voltage by n, and divide the primary current by n.
