Title
K3-01: INDUCTION IN A TRANSFORMER
Demonstrate that a change in the primary current induces a secondary voltage.
K3-02: DEMOUNTABLE TRANSFORMER - SINGLE SPARKS
Demonstrate induction of large voltages by a large secondary-to-primary turn ratio.
K3-03: DEMOUNTABLE TRANSFORMER - V VS N - PROJECTION METER
Demonstrate the effect of changing the number of turns in the secondary of a transformer.
K3-04: DEMOUNTABLE TRANSFORMER - V VS N - OSCILLOSCOPE
Demonstrate the role of turns in the secondary of a transformer
K3-05: DEMOUNTABLE TRANSFORMER - WELDER
Show that very large currents can be produced in the secondary of a step-down transformer.
K3-06: TRANSFORMER - PRIMARY CURRENT VS LOAD
Counterintuitive demonstration of how the primary current in a transformer increases when the secondary load increases.
