Quick Answer: The Electrical Transformer Model shows how a transformer steps mains voltage down by mutual induction, taking 220-240V AC on the primary and giving 6V and 12V AC from secondary taps. It has enamelled copper windings on a laminated soft iron core.

About This Product
Students measure the voltage at each secondary tap and relate it to the number of turns, seeing Faraday’s law and mutual induction at work. The laminated core helps explain why transformers are built from thin sheets rather than solid iron.
