312-10 Electromagnetism, Induction, Transformers, and Conductors EPP (1 CEH)
Learning objectives
- Recall electromagnetism and its role in producing electricity

- Given a set of data calculate the amp difference in a step down transformer
- Identify the formula used to calculate current
Course overview
Understanding electromagnetism is critical to understanding how electric power is generated. Electromagnets produce a magnetic field which in turn, produces flux. Inductance and flux work together in a transformer to induce voltage, which can supply a load. Power transformers step up and step down voltage to transfer it from generation to load. The Electromagnetism, Induction, Transformers, and Conductors training course discusses the relationship between electromagnetism and flux. It also explains how power transformers are used for all voltage level changes. This course is part of the Electric Power Principles training series.
