Waves and types of waves

Definition:-

"Wave is the transfer of energy from one place to another place without the transfer of matter or body."

Explanation:-

Wave only transfer energy or disturbance from one place to another place with transfer of matter, they travels through some medium.

The above shown diagram is of wave. As seen that there also some parts of  waves. Crest and Trough.

The highest point of wave is known as crest and lowest part is known as tough, while rest position is the middle position.

Examples:-

1.When you throw the stone in the lake, then waves starts to travel arround the hit point of stone on water. these waves carries some energy, when you will put your finger in these waves you will some force.

2.Wind(Air flowing) is a kind of waves they can move away papers like stuff means carry some energy.

3. You speak, your voice travels to the other in the form of waves, as they feel sound means your voice has energy.

Types of Waves:-

there are three basics types of waves:-

1.Mechanical Waves act as the propagation of a disturbance through a material medium due to the repeated periodic motion of the particles of the medium about their mean positions, the disturbance being handed over from one particle to the next.

2.Electromagnetic Waves are the disturbance, which does not require any material medium for its propagation and can travel even through vacuum. They are caused due to varying electric and magnetic fields.

3.Matter Waves are the waves produced in electrons and particles

Transformer, Definition, Explanation, working, construction, types

Definition:-

"Transformer is an electrical device that converts low voltage into high voltage or high voltage into low voltage."

Explanation:-

Transform the current or voltage, it is used to get high voltage when input is of low voltage and to get low voltage from high voltage.

Transform works on the principal of Mutual Induction, according to which "When alternating current flows through one winding of coil, due changing nature of ac current, there produce an emf across winding and magnetic flux around winding. When another winding of coil comes near the first winding, there is effect of magnetic flux of first winding on second winding and due to AC current as it changes continuously produces changing magnetic flux of first winding and due to this change there causes the EMF in second winding and hence current starts to flow through second winding, so this process is known as mutual Inductance". Transformer works on this principle. As there is no connection between two coils(we just bring the second nearer to the first), the current transfer will be very small as compared to first. So we use Core to link these two winding, because of this current loss is so small.

Construction:-

 It consists of following,

1.Primary coil

2.Secondary coil

3.Core

4.AC current source

Working:-

Whenever we supplies ac current to primary coil then due to changing nature of ac current there produces change in magnetic flux around this winding. And due to this changing current starts to flow through core and reached to the secondary winding and through this secondary winding goes to external circuit, When we need to change low voltage to high voltage then we have to increase the winding of secondary coil. This type of transformer is known as Step up Transformer. If we want to change the high voltage into low voltage, than we have to decrease the winding of secondary coil. This type of transformer is known as Step down Transformer.
