toisiokäämin

Toisiokäämi, often translated as secondary coil, is a fundamental component in inductive coupling and transformers. It is an electrical conductor, typically a coil of wire, that works in conjunction with a primary coil. The interaction between these two coils allows for the transfer of electrical energy without a direct physical connection.

In a transformer, the toisiokäämi is wound around or near the primary coil, which is connected to an alternating current (AC) source. The changing magnetic field produced by the primary coil induces a voltage in the toisiokäämi. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the toisiokäämi determines whether the transformer steps up or steps down the voltage. A toisiokäämi with more turns than the primary coil will produce a higher output voltage, while one with fewer turns will produce a lower voltage.

The principle of electromagnetic induction, as described by Faraday's law, governs the operation of the toisiokäämi. The changing magnetic flux through the toisiokäämi's loops induces an electromotive force (EMF), which drives current if the toisiokäämi is part of a closed circuit. This inductive coupling is crucial for many electrical and electronic applications, including power transmission, signal isolation, and resonant circuits. The material and geometry of the toisiokäämi, along with its proximity to the primary coil, significantly influence its performance and efficiency.
