AC Transformer
===============

There will be a time varying magnetic field around a conductor carrying AC.
A voltage will be induced across another conductor placed in this field. 
This is the working principle of a transformer, that can be demonstrated using the two
coils included in the kit.

Objective
---------

Construct a transformer demonstrate mutual induction using two coils. One
coil, the primary, is connected between WG and Ground. The axes of the
coils are aligned and any ferromagnetic material may be inserted for better coupling.

Procedure

-  Make connections as shown in the figure
-  Enable A1 and A2
-  Bring the coils close and watch the voltage on A2.
-  Try inserting an iron core, a nail or screwdriver also would do.

Discussion
----------

The applied waveform and the induced waveform are shown in figure. A
changing magnetic filed is causing the induced voltage. In the previous
two experiments, the changing magnetic field was created by the movement
of permanent magnets. In the present case the changing magnetic field is
created by a time varying current.

Try doing this experiment using a squarewave. Connect a 1kΩ resistor
across secondary coil to reduce ringing.
