The voltage ratio in transformers used in power supply is set by the ratio of the number of turns on the primary and secondary windings.
to step up voltage or to step down voltage
Transformers do not exactly transfer power, they either step up voltage or step down the voltage from one source to another to make it a useable voltage.
The voltage induced into the secondary winding will be lower than the voltage applied to the primary winding. The primary winding being the winding connected to the supply, while the secondary winding is the one connected to the load.
This type of transformer is called a Step-Down transformer. All transformers have an input to output ratio. The transformers that increase voltage are called Step-up, and the transformers that protect against surges are called unity gain. The Unity gain transformer has a 1:1 ratio and provide a mechanical way to isolate a source of voltage from a load.

Generators generate and transformers step up or step down the voltage
unequal coiling of wires
There are no disadvantages to either step-up, or to step-down, transformers. They do exactly what they are intended to do: change voltage levels while maintaining approximately the same power level on both primary and secondary sides.

As transformers do not work with DC., the answer is a voltage divider network (step down) or a voltage multiplier network (step up).
The transformers step-up and down voltage for transmission and use.
A variety of electrical transformers are produced for a variety of purposes. All of the types use the same principle discovered by Michael Faraday, and employ many of the same parts. The various types include. Audio transformers, Instrument transformers, Pulse transformers, Power transformers, RF transformers. .
(This is what my teacher said, I wrote this down in my notes) The answer is, Step-up transformers are used to increase the voltage of an electric current before it is sent out over transmission lines from the electric company. Step-down transformers are used to reduce the voltage of current from high-voltage transmission lines before it enters homes and businesses. Some devices, such as televisions, contain step-up transformers that increase the voltage once again.
