In a transformer, let's say we have:
I1, I2$I_1, I_2$ - currents through the primary and secondary winding
V1, V2$V_1, V_2$ - voltages
N1, N2$N_1, N_2$ - number of turns
F1, F2$F_1, F_2$ - magnetic fluxes through core, produced by the currents I1$I_1$ and I2$I_2$ (they are opposing...)
R$R$ - the reluctance of the core
We have V1/V2 = N1/N2 = I2/I1.
F1=N1I1/R; F2=N2I2/R$$\frac{V_1}{V_2} = \frac{N_1}{N_2} = \frac{I_2}{I_1}.\\
F_1=N_1*\frac{I_1}{R}, \hspace{2mm} F_2=N_2*\frac{I_2}{R}$$
I think I1$I_1$ and I2$I_2$ are in phase too.
That means F1$F_1$ and F2$F_2$ are practically equal.
How can we have a nonzero resulting flux through the core?
F=F1-F2$F=F_1-F_2$
If the flux through the iron core is zero, then the cause that produces V2 $V_2$ (variation of the flux) does not exist, then V2=0$V_2=0$?
