A transformer’s primary winding generates magnetic flux, which flows in the iron core. Since the iron core is also a conductor, an electric potential is established on the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, resulting in the creation of an “eddy current”.

Transformers convert one AC voltage to another without changing the frequency. One or more coils are wound on a common ferromagnetic core, and are not electrically connected but are connected by a common magnetic flux.
