Learning About
How can a specific output power be generated in a transformer?
Keywords:
  • Voltage: A potential difference, also called voltage, across an electrical component is needed to make a current flow through it. Cells or batteries often provide the potential difference needed. (1)
  • Current: An electric current is a flow of electric charge. (1)
  • Power: Power is a measure of how quickly energy is transferred. The unit of power is the watt (W). (1)
