How does a transformation feel?

A transformer works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. Let's do a bit of review and then pull some things together. Any conductor through which current is flowing will have a magnetic field around it. When the current begins to flow, the field will build. Conductors with a changing current in them, with an alternating current (AC) flowing through them, will have a changing magnetic field around them. The field will arise and take form, then collapse. It will then arise again with the opposite polarity, and then collapse. This alternating field, which is a direct result of the alternating current, can be set up near another conductor to induce a voltage in that other conductor. The magnetic field around the first conductor is said to "sweep" the second conductor and induce that voltage in it. This is electromagnetic induction, and is the principle on which transformer action occurs. If we wind a coil of wire around a ferromagnetic core, the core will facilitate the "flow" of the magnetic field that arises as AC is applied to the winding. The addition of a second (secondary) winding around the core in the vicinity of the first (primary) winding will allow an optimum amount of "sweeping action" (magnetic coupling) to occur between the two windings. And if we tinker a bit with the number of turns in the windings, we can get stepped up or stepped down voltages as a result of the transformer action in the device.
Transformer is a type of machine which is used to step up or step down the voltage.and works on the principle of mutual induction.according to which voltage can be induced in a winding that is electrically isolated from the winding connected with source...
