2. Coupling Coefficient
The coupling coefficient is a measure of the percentage of flux from one coil that links another (mutual inductance) coil. The coupling coefficient for 2 mutual inductors is given by:
If k > 0.5 , then most of the flux from the one coil links the other and the coils are said to be tightly coupled. If k < 0.5, then most of the flux is not shared between the 2 coils and in this case the coils are said to be loosely coupled.

3. Linear Transformers Primary Coil Secondary Coil
A transformer is a 4-terminal device comprised of 2 or more magnetically coupled coils.
In a typical application they are used the change the ratio of current to voltage (maintaining constant power) from a source to a load. R1 R2 + Vs - ZL

4. Linear Transformers Equivalent (T Network)
A z parameter model of a T (or Y) network of inductors is given by:
Find the equivalent T network for a transform circuit given by a mutual inductance pair. Show equivalent T network requires: La Lb + - + - Lc I1 I2 + V1 - V2 L1 L2 M

5. Linear Transformers Equivalent (T Network)
By setting the corresponding y-parameter model elements equal, the transformer can be mapped to the following equivalent T network.

A similar equivalence can be obtained for the  or  network.

6. Ideal Transformers
For ideal transformers assume that coupling coefficient is 1. If this is the case, then both coils have the same flux. Assume the polarities of the voltages and currents result in flux going in the same direction. Then the result is:
And for the ideal transformer assume no power is lost in the magnetic circuit (infinite permeability) or the coils (no wire resistance), which implies:

13. Circuit Transformations
Perform a Norton transformation on the above circuits to show how a current source transforms to an equivalent on the primary or secondary circuits.
In summary:
Reflecting the secondary circuit to the primary side requires impedance division by n2, voltage source division by n, and current source multiplication by n.
Reflecting the primary circuit to the secondary side requires impedance multiplication by n2, voltage source multiplication by n, and current source division by n.
