What is an Ideal Transformer?

Ideal Transformer Definition

An ideal transformer is defined as a theoretical transformer with 100% efficiency and no losses.

 Core and Copper Losses

In an ideal transformer, there are no core losses or copper losses, ensuring perfect efficiency.

Purely Inductive Windings

The windings are considered purely inductive, meaning they have no resistance, which is key to the ideal model.

Magnetizing Current

The primary winding draws a magnetizing current that creates an alternating flux in phase with the current.

Mutual Induction

The flux in the primary winding induces an EMF in the secondary winding through the core, showing the principle of mutual induction.

How does a transformer work?
Transformer Operation PrincipleA transformer is an electrical device that operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction to transfer electrical energy from one circuit to another. It enables the adjustment of voltage levels within an alternating current (AC) system, either stepping up (increasing) or stepping down (decreasing) voltage while maintaining the same frequency.Working Principle:Basic ComponentsA transformer consists of two coils, known as windings—the "primary winding" connect
