what is voltage? it is actually the potential difference across the two ends. and voltage is its SI unit when we switch on the television the circuit is completed and the electricity flows and then the radio transmitter starts working and we are able to see the program
In an alternating current circuit the voltage can be stepped up ordown efficiently with a transformer.

In an ideal transformer, if the voltage is stepped up by a factor of x, then the current is stepped down by a factor of x. The end result is that the power, P=VI, is not changed. Again, this is in the ideal case.
The function of any transformer is to change one AC voltage value to another AC voltage value. A step down transformer will transform a higher AC voltage to a lower AC voltage. A step up transformer will transform a lower AC voltage to a higher AC voltage. The transmission of electrical power uses both of these types of transformers. From the generation station the voltage is stepped up to a very high transmission voltage and at the end of the transmission line it is stepped down to a voltage that consumers can utilize.
If both coils of a transformer have the same number of turns, the output voltage will be the same as the input voltage. This is because transformers operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where the voltage ratio is directly proportional to the turn ratio. With equal turns on both the primary and secondary coils, there is no stepping up or down of voltage; the output voltage is effectively "canceled" to match the input voltage.
A step up transformer increases the applied voltage. A step down transformer decreases or lowers the applied voltage. An example of step up transformers are the transformers (known as fly-backs) in old CRTs that stepped up voltage from 110 Volts to 25,000 volts. An example of step down transformers are the power bricks for laptops or any power adapter that step down the voltage from 110 volts to 12 volts, 9 volts or whatever is needed for your device. I must add that most (not all) power adapters also convert AC to DC.
The secondary voltage in a transformer is stepped up by having more turns in the secondary coil compared to the primary coil. This creates a higher electromagnetic induction which leads to a higher output voltage. The ratio of the number of turns in the primary coil to the number of turns in the secondary coil determines the degree of voltage stepping up.

A stereo or tv set needs a step-up transformer because a step-up transformer increases the voltage of an appliance and a stereo or and a tv set needs a high voltage.-------Semper Fidelis(ADC)----------
Voltages are nearly always stepped up for transmission, sometimes to 400,000 volts or more.
