What is Transformers and how it works?

Question

Accepted Answer

Transformers are devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction.

Transformers consist of two coils of wire, known as the primary and secondary coils, wrapped around a core made of iron or other magnetic materials.
When an alternating current flows through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic field which induces a voltage in the secondary coil.
The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil determines the voltage transformation ratio of the transformer.
Transformers are used in power distribution systems to step up or step down voltage levels for transmission and distribution purposes.
Examples of transformers include power transformers, distribution transformers, and instrument transformers.
