yOOOO -----( i have made my direct questions in
Bold and underlined)
so yeah, i made this little circuit, idk what its called, it uses a TIP 31C transistor, an LED, a transformer and a resistor. i connect the battery and the transformer hum's. if i bring the high voltage side of the transformer (is that the primary winding???) the wires produce a bright blue arc to each other and it makes a screatch sound.
it measures on multimeter of around 200V AC. i beleive the little circuit i built takes the battery DC and makes AC with the transistor.
so i see 200V AC. what i did was connect a bridge rectifier at the transformers output leads to get a DC voltage, that has been boosted by the transformer. it says 84v AC. i understand that by rectifying it, i have taken away half the voltage, because i removed the other sine wave cycle. you know what i mean
So by now, ive got 84V DC to play with. i thought if i connected a little 9V motor it will spin like crazy because its got 84V running through it, when its rated for 9. So i connect it, and nothing happens????
-
---Why do i have 84V DC that does nothing but run an LED??? I know its got to do with current
but i thought my transformer would boost the Voltage, that the motor could use to go
crazy??
I know how to measure how much current a certain load will draw. you connect the multimeter between the wires like a switch. but how do i measure the max amount of current my supply will give??
^^ i beleive my motor wont run because the transformer is not providing enough current.
-----How do i figure the current the transformer is providing when the little circuit is
connected to it??
Im screwing around with a transformer to learn how they work. i thought i connect a battery and it will step up the voltage, which it has but why wont this high volts be of use to my motor.
and how do i step up the current??
another thing about current,
how do i find the max current my battery will supply???
A few questions there but they sound simple enough for a pro
Please help me understand this thanks
