A transformer is an electrical device which is used for changing the a.c. voltages. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction i.e. whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f is induced in the neighbouring coil. For. an ideal transformer, the resistances of the primary and secondary windings are negligible.

It can be shown that \(\frac{E_{s}}{E_{p}}=\frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}=\frac{n_{s}}{n_{p}}=k\)
where the symbols have their standard meanings.
For a step up transformer \(n_{s}>n_{p} ; E_{s}>E_{p} ; k>1 ; \quad \therefore I_{s}
For a step down transformer \(n_{s}
The above relations are on the assumptions that efficiency of transformer is 100%.

Step-down transformers are used to decrease or step-down voltages. These are used when voltages need to be lowered for use in homes and factories.
A small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is \(0.5 \Omega\) per km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000 - 220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.

An LC circuit also called a resonant circuit, tank circuit or tuned circuit is an electric circuit consisting of an inductor represented by the letter L and a capacitor, represented by the letter C connected together. An LC circuit is an idealized model since it assumes there is no dissipation of energy due to resistance.
An LC circuit contains a 20 mH inductor and a \(50 \mu \mathrm{F}\) capacitor with an initial charge of 10 mC The resistance of the circuit is negligible. Let the instant the circuit is closed be t = 0.
