A
transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one
circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors — the
transformer's coils or "windings". Except for air-core transformers,
the conductors are commonly wound around a single iron-rich core,
or around separate but magnetically-coupled cores. A varying current
in the first or "primary" winding creates a varying magnetic field
in the core (or cores) of the transformer. This varying magnetic
field induces a varying electromotive force (EMF) or "voltage" in
the "secondary" winding. This effect is called mutual induction.
