What is transformer?
A Transformer is a static electrical machine which transfers AC electrical power
from one circuit to the other circuit at constant frequency, but the voltage level can
be altered that means voltage can be increased or decreased according to the
requirement.

Types of transformer

Step up transformer - used in electricity board

Step down transformer - used in electronic devices


Working principle
The working principle behind transformer is Faraday’s law of Electromagnetic Induction.
