A transformer transfers AC electrical power between circuits while altering the voltage level. It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction as described by Faraday's law, where the magnitude of voltage is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux. There are two main types - step up transformers which increase voltage and are used in electricity boards, and step down transformers which decrease voltage and are used in electronic devices. The main parts are the primary and secondary windings wound around an iron core.

WE(TGT) 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.
