Electric Generators and Transformers

This lecture covers the principles of electric generators, focusing on the efficiency of a rotating coil in a magnetic field. It explains the Earth's magnetic field, convection in the fluid iron core, and induction in AC stoves. The lecture also delves into AC and DC generators, self-inductance, mutual inductance, and transformers, emphasizing the conservation of energy and power. Additionally, it discusses the transmission of electric power, high voltage lines, and the importance of AC in transformers. The concepts of self-inductance, mutual inductance, and the ideal transformer are thoroughly explained.
