Step Down Transformer ( For Sonometer Experiment)

The step down transformer is usually connected to the sonometer by two wires. One wire is connected to the primary winding of the transformer, and the other is connected to the secondary winding of the transformer. The primary winding is connected to the main supply, and the secondary winding is connected to the sonometer wire.

The step-down transformer works by electromagnetic induction. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a magnetic field. This magnetic field induces an alternating current in the secondary winding. The output voltage of the secondary winding is inversely proportional to the number of turns in the secondary winding divided by the number of turns in the primary winding.

The step-down transformer should be selected carefully for the sonometer apparatus. The transformer should have a voltage rating of at least 6 volts and a current rating that is sufficient to power the sonometer wire. The transformer should also be mounted in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally touched.

Here are some of the essential factors to consider when choosing a step-down transformer for a sonometer apparatus:

• Voltage rating: The transformer should have a voltage rating of at least 6 volts.
• Current rating: The transformer should have a current rating sufficient to power the sonometer wire.
• Number of turns: The transformer should have sufficient turns in the secondary winding to produce the desired output voltage.
• Insulation: The transformer should have good insulation to prevent electrical shock.
• Safety: The transformer should be mounted in a safe location where it cannot be accidentally touched.
