21. Describe the principle, construction and working of a transformer.

Answer: Transformer
Principle: It is based on the principle of mutual induction.
Construction: A simple transformation consists of two coils called the primary and
secondary which are insulated from each other and would on a common soft iron
laminated are.

The alternating voltage to be transformed is connected to the primary while the load is
connected to the secondary. In a set-up transformer, the primary coil consists of a few of
thick insulated copper wire and the secondary consists of a large number of turns of thin
insulated copper wire while consists of a large number of turns of thin insulated copper
wire the case is reverse in step down transformer.

14
 Theory: On applying the alternating voltage to the primary an alternating current flows
in the coil. An alternating magnetic flux is then set up in the core which gets linked with
both primary and secondary.
Let np and ns be the number of turns of wire in primary and secondary coil,  p and s are
magnetic flux linked with primary and secondary coil at any instant then.

24. Explain with the help of a labelled diagram the working of a transistor as an
oscillator.
Answer: An oscillator circuit consisting of an amplifier circuit, tuned circuit in the collector
and an inductive coupling for feedback. The emitter junction is forward biased while the
collector junction is reverse biased. The coil L1 and L2 are would on the same core so that
they are inductively coupled through their mutual inductance.
Working of a transistor as an oscillator- The transistor transfers the resistance, it is called
as transistor.
There exists an input circuit with a small source of power and a small resistance and an
output circuit with a high resistance and moderately large source of power.
In the input circuit, whenever there is a small change in current, there is an amplified
variation of current in output circuit, mainly because the resistance are transferred.
The amplified output current also oscillates with respect to the input, when the input current
is made to oscillate by applying a signal to the input terminal.
