Describe a transformer, in its simplest form.

What will be an ideal response?


The transformer is a stationary device. In its simplest form, it consists of a laminated iron core. The input and output windings are wound on this common core. The primary winding is the input winding, which is connected to the energy source. The output winding is the secondary winding and is connected to the load. Energy is transferred from the primary winding to the secondary winding by an alternating magnetic flux that is developed by the primary winding.
