What is a transformer?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The definition of transformer.
Explanation of Solution
The transformer is a magnetically operated electrical machine which changes the values of current, voltage or impedance without a change in the frequency of the supply. It works on the principle of magnetic induction. The transformer consists of two windings, first one is primary and second one is secondary winding. The primary winding carries the input supply and secondary winding carries the output supply.
The load is connected to secondary winding of the transformer. The change in input voltage or current depends on the number of turns in the primary winding and number of turns of wire in the secondary winding. If a transformer raises the value of the input current or voltage, then it is called a step up transformer and if it decreases the input voltage or current then the transformer is called a step down transformer. The input supply of transformer is always an AC supply.

- 12. Figure Q12 shows a prospective design for a conveyor roller system, for transferring crates, one at a time. The system is made up of two parallel rectangular steel beams, built-in at one end and simply supported at the other, with closely spaced rollers mounted in-between, for the crate to pass over. a) Using Macaulay notation, carry out an analysis of the problem and calculate the deflection of the mid-length point of the beams when the crate is centrally located, midway between A and B. State any important assumptions used in your analysis.
