Ideal Transformer
This interactive simulator explores Ideal Transformer in Electricity & Magnetism. U₂/U₁ = N₂/N₁. Optional load R for I₁, I₂ (ideal power). Use the controls to change the scenario; watch the visualization and any graphs or readouts to connect the model with lectures, labs, and homework.
Who it's for: Best once you already know the basic definitions and want to build intuition. Typical context: Electricity & Magnetism.

How it works
Ideal transformer: voltages scale with turns ratio — U₂/U₁ = N₂/N₁. With a resistive load on the secondary, currents follow power conservation (P = U₂I₂ ≈ U₁I₁). Real transformers have losses, leakage flux, and non-ideal core behavior.
