The transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction (Faraday’s law of induction). When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic flux in the transformer core. This flux induces a voltage in the secondary winding, proportional to the turns ratio of the primary to secondary windings. The energy transfer happens without any physical contact between the two windings, as it relies solely on the magnetic field.

The underlying principle of a transformer is electromagnetic induction, based on Faraday’s law of induction. When an alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a changing magnetic flux in the core. This flux induces a voltage in the secondary winding, proportional to the turns ratio of the primary to secondary windings. The energy transfer occurs without physical contact between the windings, relying entirely on the magnetic field.
