Coefficient of Coupling
The coefficient of coupling (k) between two coils is the ratio
of the lines of force (flux) produced by one coil linking the
second coil (1-2) to the total flux produced by the first coil
(1)
The coefficient of coupling depends on the physical closeness
of the coils and the type of core material on which they are
wound
Construction and core shape are also factors influencing
coefficient of coupling

Mutual Inductance
When two coils are placed close to each other, a changing
electromagnetic field produced by the current in one coil will
cause an induced voltage in the second coil because of the
mutual inductance
Mutual inductance is established by the inductance of each coil
and by the amount of coupling between the two coils.
To maximize coupling, the two coils are wound on a common
core

Direction of Windings
The direction of the windings determines the polarity of the
voltage across the secondary winding with respect to the
voltage across the primary
Phase dots are used to indicate polarities

Turns Ratio
Turns ratio (n) is defined as the ratio of the number of turns in
the secondary winding (NSEC) to the number of turns in the
primary winding (NPRI)

Step-up Transformers
A transformer in which the secondary voltage is greater than
the primary voltage is called a step-up transformer
The ratio of secondary voltage (VSEC) to primary voltage (VPRI)
is equal to the ratio of the number of turns in the secondary
winding (NSEC) to the number of turns in the primary winding
(NPRI)

Step-Down Transformer
A transformer in which the secondary voltage is less
than the primary voltage is called a step-down
transformer
The amount by which the voltage is stepped down
depends on the turns ratio
The turns ratio of a step-down transformer is always
less than 1

Impedance Matching
When a source is connected to a load, maximum power is
delivered to the load when the load impedance is equal to the
fixed internal source impedance
One application of transformers is in the matching of a load
resistance to a source resistance in order to achieve maximum
transfer of power
This is termed impedance matching
Transformers designed specifically for impedance matching
usually show the input and output impedance they are
designed to match

Matching Transformer
The reflected-resistance characteristics provided by a
transformer are used to make the load resistance appear to
have the same value as the source resistance

DC Isolation
A transformer does not pass dc, therefore a transformer can be
used to keep the dc voltage on the output of an amplifier stage
from affecting the bias of the next amplifier
The ac signal is coupled through the transformer between
amplifier stages

Multiple-Winding Transformers
Multiple-winding transformers have more than one winding on
a common core. They are used to operate on, or provide,
different operating voltages

Auto Transformers
In an autotransformer, one winding serves as both the primary
and the secondary. The winding is tapped at the proper points
to achieve the desired turns ratio for stepping up or down the
voltage
