Transformers are used to convert between AC voltages.
Transmission is always done at very high voltage to reduce copper losses (heat loss, $E = i^2R$).

A current carrying coil induces a magnet inside the core.
Another coil is wrapped around the core.
This coil has a current induced in it by induced magnetic field.

$$\frac{i_s}{i_p} = \frac{v_p}{v_s} = \frac{n_p}{n_s} = \text{turns ratio}$$
**Note that the current fraction is s over p, not p over s like the others.**
Derivation in lecture slides (pp. 12-15).
Transformers are usually described as having a ratio $p:s$, where $p$ is the number of primary coils
and $s$ the number of secondary coils.

## Referred Impedance
$$\frac{Z_P}{Z_S} = \left(\frac{n_p}{n_s}\right)^2$$
Derivation in in lecture slides (pp. 19-21).
