I understand the basic workings of a transformer,the questions on them really difficult. This is one of the questions – I’d really like a guided explaination on how to tackle it. An audio-frequency tranformer, designed to operate at frequencies as low as 20Hz is used to transform the 5ohm resistance of a secondary load into [...]

hello thank you for reading this question, i have a iron cored dc-ac transformer (relies on interrupter to constantly break circuit to induce induction in secondary coil) a brief and crude diagram can be found here:http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/990/induct.jpg. What i wish to do with this extracted component from an inductorium is use it to create a magnetic [...]
