Solution

The principle behind the working of a transformer is mutual electromagnetic induction.

It states that when an alternating current flows through a primary coil, it creates a continuously changing magnetic field around it. This changing magnetic field passes through a neighboring secondary coil, inducing an alternating voltage (emf) across its ends.
