Ohh, no answers yet. I actually looked into this recently!
Okay, so electricity is generated by something spinning around a magnet or vice-versa(to oversimplify, usually…)
The electricity generated at one end by the spinning, makes something spin at the other end(another magnet is involved).
Now, what happens in a transformer is just like a car’s transmission. Think of the voltage like the crankshaft.
Basically, the voltage hitting the transformer spins the magnet, but it spins a bunch of different sized magnets that add up to the same amount of energy, so the voltage splits off into multiple directions.
Like, you send a thousand volts to a transformer, the power spins a wheel in the transformer, which causes other wheels to spin at different speeds, dividing up the energy so the places the energy needs to go get the right amount.
It’s really brilliant, and I wish I had researched it years ago.
