What is an Autotransformer Connection diagram, Symbol, Working Principle

Fig. 1: Autotransformer (Construction & Symbol).

The normal transformer has separate primary and secondary windings. But the autotransformer is a special transformer in which a part of winding is common for the primary and secondary windings. The construction of an autotransformer is as shown in Fig. 1. It consists of only one winding wound on a laminated magnetic core, with a rotary movable contact. Thus from the autotransformer three terminals are brought out for connection. The autotransformer can operate as a step down or a step up transformer.

What is Voltage Follower using Op-Amp? Circuit Diagram, Derivation & Working

The circuit in which output voltage is exactly equal and in-phase with its input, then the circuit is known as voltage follower.

A non-inverting amplifier, whose gain is equal to 1, acts as a voltage follower. The circuit includes an op-amp and a wire connecting the output and input terminals. A non- inverting amplifier configured as voltage follower is illustrated in figure below.
