Phasor Diagram of No Load Ideal Transformer

AI Thread Summary
In a no load ideal transformer, there is debate over whether V1 is anti-phase with E1 or in phase, with different phasor diagrams presented in various texts. The consensus leans towards V1 being anti-phase with E1, supported by Lenz's law. To better visualize the relationship, it is suggested to redraw the phasor diagram with both coils on the same side of the core. Adjusting the height of the coils and positioning the secondary coil above the primary while maintaining the winding direction is recommended for clarity. This approach aids in accurately understanding the phasor relationships in an ideal transformer scenario.

For a no load ideal transformer

V1 is anti phase with E1?

or

in phase like this?

I have seen both types of phasor diagram in different books. But the first one is the accurate answer, I think. Because of Lenze's law.
 
It'll help you visualize the problem if you redraw the top figure to place both coils on same side of the core.

Make both coils less tall and move your secondary over to other side so it's just above the primary,
paying careful attention to preserve which direction the turns are wound.
 

Thread 'How might electronics be different if AC voltage was 72V at 45 Hz?'

Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?

Thread 'Why does the amperage go real high if there is a low voltage short?'

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...

Thread 'Electromagnet magnetic field issue'

Hi Guys We are a bunch a mechanical engineers trying to build a simple electromagnet. Our design is based on a very similar magnet. However, our version is about 10 times less magnetic and we are wondering why. Our coil has exactly same length, same number of layers and turns. What is possibly wrong? PIN and bracket are made of iron and are in electrical contact, exactly like the reference design. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks. edit: even same wire diameter and coil was wounded by a...
