So if the secondary coil experiences a changing magnetic field, an alternating voltage VS will be induced across it! The size of this volage will change depending on the number of turns of wire in each coil:
In the diagram above, the primary coil has more turns than the secondary. This means that the magnetism has less effect on the second coil and a lower voltage is produced. This is a step-down transformer as it lowers the voltage.
