how single phase transformer works?

A single-phase transformer operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction. It consists of two windings: the primary and secondary, wrapped around a magnetic core. When alternating current flows through the primary winding, it creates a magnetic field that induces a voltage in the secondary winding. The voltage transformation ratio depends on the turns ratio of the windings. This allows the transformer to step up or step down voltage levels for various applications in electrical systems.
