Neither of these terms is normally applied to a transformer. You may be thinking of a 'mutual tranformer' and an 'autotransformer'. If so, then a 'mutual transformer' is a transformer which has electrically-isolated primary and secondary windings, whereas an 'autotranformer' (the term, 'auto', is misleading and has nothing to do with the transformer being 'automatic'!) has a common and series winding, meaning that the primary and secondary sides are electrically connected to each other.

How are the two circuits of an induction motor similar to the circuit of a transformer?

They are magnetically coupled--a current in one circuit induces a current in the other one in both a transformer and an induction motor.


What is matual induction?

Mutual (not 'matual') induction occurs when a changing current in one circuit induces a voltage into a second circuit. An example of mutual induction is a transformer.


What is the difference between transformers and autotransformers?

A transformer or, more-properly, a mutual transformer, has two windings, the primary and the secondary, which are electrically-isolated from each other, with the secondary voltage induced through mutual induction. An autotransformerconsists of one tapped winding, so the secondary circuit is not electrically isolated from the primary circuit. An autotransformer may be used to either increase or decrease the primary voltage, depending how it is connected.
