How is current dropped through a step-up transformer, when current is dependent on resistance?

Suppose you have a 1:10 transformer. You put in 12V and you get 120V out the other end. Now the current before the transformer would be $$V=IR$$ $$I = \frac{V}{R}$$ $$I = \frac{12}{1}$$ $$I=12$$ (...

How to visualise high voltage and no current at secondary side of step up transformer?

As per the literature I have gone through about voltage, current, impedance, magnetic flux, etc what I understand is that, at the secondary side of a step up transformer, the voltage is very high and ...

Can very high voltage and very low current AC produce strong magnetic flux in the coil?

I have done some research and also conducted some experiments and found that the magnetic flux in a transformer or a coil mainly depends on the number of turns and current flowing in it and not the ...

Should I use one thick wire or many thin wires in a step-up high frequency transformer to reduce resistance and impedance?

I am planning to make a step up high frequency (hundreds of kHz) transformer. I want to reduce the resistance and impedance in the secondary. Should I use one thick wire in the secondary, or should I ...

3.7V to 7.5V step up circuit

I need a circuit which can step up the voltage from my 3.7V Li Ion battery to 7.5V. The current requirements are pretty small (up to 50mA max), but I have a latching solenoid which requires a short 7....

Will my step-up converter module break if I connect a power hungry device to it?

I recently bought a step-up converter module. It is rated to work at 24 volts and output MAX 28 volts and 2 amps. I will connect it to a source that outputs 5 volts and 20 amps. If I connect a power ...
