Definition:
A transformer is a static electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another with a
Working Principle:
It is based on Mutual Induction. When an AC current flows through the primary coil, it generates alternating
magnetic flux. This flux links with the secondary coil and induces EMF in it according to Faradays Law of
Electromagnetic Induction.
