The transformer is called a passive device since it cannot generate power. Its input power Ein x Iin. must equal its ouput power Eout x Iout, with the exception of internal power losses in the transformer itself. This equality can be used to derive a relation for the current transformation properties of a transformer, namely,

In other words, if the output voltage increases, the output current must decrease proportionately, to keep the output power constant. The quantity Np/Ns is called the turns ratio.
