Question 1

What formula is used to calculate the load impedance using a transformer?

Z_load = N_secondary / N_primary × Z_source
Z_load = (N_secondary / N_primary)² × Z_source
Z_load = N_primary / N_secondary × Z_source

💡 Hint: Recall how the transformation works in terms of the square of the turns ratio.

Question 2

True or False: The efficiency of a transformer improves when it is poorly designed.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about what happens during transmission of energy.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A transformer has 100 turns on the primary coil and is designed to match an impedance from a source of 50 ohms to a load of 200 ohms. How many turns should the secondary coil have?

💡 Hint: Think about how to rearrange the formula and calculate the necessary secondary turns based on the load and source impedance.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss the broader implications of applying transformers in RF designs. What happens if impedance matching is ignored?

💡 Hint: Consider how each component in a system interacts with each other when signals are processed.
