Does a step up transformer violate the principle of conservation of energy ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Transformer**: A transformer consists of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary windings, wound around a magnetic core. In a step-up transformer, the secondary winding has more turns than the primary winding. 2. **Power in the Transformer**: The power input to the transformer (primary side) is given by the product of voltage (V) and current (I), which can be expressed as: \[ P_{primary} = V \times I \] ...
