Toroid VS Solenoid, Which Is Better?

Toroid or Solenoid? A toroid is similar to a solenoid but is constructed with a circular profile, creating a continuous structure. Toroidal cores are used to make toroidal power transformers, while solenoid cores are for UI and EI transformers. An ideal solenoid would...

Centre Tapped Transformer Working Principle

Introduction A center-tapped transformer has a center tap at the midpoint of its secondary windings, which are divided into two equal parts, thus supplying two equal output voltages and both parts have an equal number of turns. Someone calls this center-tapped...

How Are Good Toroidal Transformers Made?

Material Selection Toroidal Core It is better to use high-quality cores that are made from premium-grade virgin steel without any air gaps and loss sheets of steel to cause vibration. Ferrite Cores are also selected to make toroidal power transformers. Quiet operation...

Why Use Enameled Wire Over Bare Wire?

To be enameled, a wire (also known as magnet wire) is added to the surface with paper paper-thin insulation coating. When we are winding copper wires into a coil, the copper wires are packed so tightly that they have to be enameled in order to prevent them from...

Left-Hand Rule and Right-Hand Rule Explanation

The Left-Hand Rule and Right-Hand Rule developed by John Ambrose Fleming are commonly used to show the direction of motion, current, and magnetic field in electric motors or generators, as well as applicable in magnetism and electromagnetism. Right-hand Rule For...
