A transformer has two coils of wire wound round an iron core. An ac voltage on one coil produces a magnetic field in the core. The magnetic field causes a voltage to be induced in the second coil. A step-down transformer has fewer wire turns in the second coil, therefore the output voltage is less than the input voltage.
