Transformers are electrical devices that transfer electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction, typically to change the voltage level. A step-up transformer converts a low AC voltage to a high AC voltage (statement 1), while a step-down transformer converts a high AC voltage to a low AC voltage (statement 2). Transformers only work with alternating current (AC).
