SUMMARY
Transformers induce voltage in the secondary winding through electromagnetic induction, which occurs when a changing magnetic field around the core generates an electromotive force (EMF). The process is governed by Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction, which states that the induced voltage is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux. Understanding the specifics of how magnetism interacts with the core material is crucial for grasping transformer functionality.
