Transformer
01
an electric device that is used to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current
Example
The fluctuating electric current induced a magnetic field in the iron core of the transformer.
The voltage of alternating current can be easily transformed using transformers for different applications.
Power lines carry electricity and transformers are used along the way to transform the voltage to minimize power losses.
Transformers utilize inductors to transfer electrical energy between different circuits by inducing a changing magnetic field in a nearby coil.
Everyday devices, such as electric motors and transformers, operate based on principles derived from electromagnetism.
