A transformer is used to increase or decrease alternating
voltage.

When an alternating voltage is applied to a purely resistive
circuit, the resulting current is in phase with the voltage.

That will induce a voltage across the wire.

Alternating current is normally produced by rotating the magnet
in the coil of an induced alternating voltage. When connected to a
circuit, an alternating current will flow.
