A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled electrical conductor. A changing current in the first circuit (the primary) creates a changing magnetic field; in turn, this magnetic field induces a changing voltage in the second circuit (the secondary). By adding a load to the secondary circuit, one can make current flow in the transformer, thus transferring energy from one circuit to the other. The secondary induced voltage V,... full article at wikipedia
