Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Transformer is a device used to convert low a.c. voltage to high a.c. voltage and vice versa.

There is two types of transformer, they are:

1.Step up transformer

It converts low a.c. voltage into high a.c. voltage.

2.Step down transformer

It converts low a.c. voltage to high a.c. voltage.
