    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transformer

    In electrical engineering, a transformer is a passive component that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another circuit, or multiple circuits.

  3. A transformer is defined as a passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through the process of electromagnetic induction. It is most commonly used to increase (‘step up’) or decrease (‘step down’) voltage levels between circuits.

  4. Transformer | Definition, Types, & Facts | Britannica

    A transformer is a device that transfers electric energy from one alternating-current to one or more other circuits, either increasing (stepping up) or reducing (stepping down) the voltage.

  5. Transformer Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster

    www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/transformer

    The meaning of TRANSFORMER is one that transforms; specifically : a device employing the principle of mutual induction to convert variations of current in a primary circuit into variations of voltage and current in a secondary circuit.

  6. The transformer is basically a voltage control device that is used widely in the distribution and transmission of alternating current power. The idea of a transformer was first discussed by Michael Faraday in the year 1831 and was carried forward by many other prominent science scholars.

  7. Transformer - Energy Education

    A transformer is an electrical device that uses electromagnetic induction to pass an alternating current (AC) signal from one electric circuit to another, often changing (or "transforming") the voltage and electric current.

  8. How do electricity transformers work? - Explain that Stuff

    www.explainthatstuff.com/transformers.html

    A transformer is based on a very simple fact about electricity: when a fluctuating electric current flows through a wire, it generates a magnetic field (an invisible pattern of magnetism) or "magnetic flux" all around it.

  9. TRANSFORMER Definition & Meaning - Dictionary.com

    www.dictionary.com/browse/transformer

    A device used to change the voltage of an alternating current in one circuit to a different voltage in a second circuit, or to partially isolate two circuits from each other. Transformers consist of two or more coils of conducting material, such as wire, wrapped around a core (often made of iron).
