    Behavior of Transformer on Loading

    A load is a part of the circuit which consumes electrical energy or power and converts it into some other form like heat of some external mechanical work or electrical energy. Similarly, when an external circuit is attached to the secondary coil of the transformer, so that it consumes some of the electrical energy or power contributed by the secondary coil, then the transformer is said to be in a loading condition.

    Current can only flow through the circuit if it is closed, i.e. only if the secondary coil has a closed circuit attached to it, called the load, only then the current will flow through it.

    Here is the 4th part of Nasir’s tutorial on transformers. If you want to write for the blog just like Nasir, don’t hesitate and send us a mail.
