Hi all,
I'm trying to make a very basic transformer for a science project. The main purpose of this transformer is actually to estimate the number loops in the secondary coil, by measuring the induced emf. My question is: the impedance on my secondary coil is expected to be very high (~500 kohms), i.e. orders of magnitude higher than the impedance on the primary. Should I be worried about impedance matching? I know my questions and details seem a bit vague, so I'll happily supply more details if those are required. I should also mention that my knowledge in electronics is basic at best. If you're still undeterred, I'll appreciate your responses.
Thanks,
Nitzan.
