What is Transformer?

A)
Transformers are used only for low alternating voltage
B)
Transformer is a device used to convert alternating current to direct current
C)
Transformer is a device used to convert low alternating voltage to a high alternating voltage
D)
Transformer is a device used to convert low alternating current to a high alternating current

Correct Answer : Option (C) :   Transformer is a device used to convert low alternating voltage to a high alternating voltage


Explanation : A Transformer is a device used to convert low alternating voltage to a high alternating voltage and vice versa. Transformers are based on the phenomena of mutual induction. A transformer consists of a soft iron coil with two coils wound around it which are not connected to one another.
