Hi guys I am currently training to be an electrician and have only been at college about 6 months. So my understanding of things isn't particular great.
Anyway I have recently come across transformers and whilst I understand the general idea is to either increase or decrease the voltage for a circuit, would I be right in saying that step up transformer increases the voltage and therefore increases the current, and that a step down transformer decreases the voltage and therefore decreases the current.
I got this idea from Ohm's law - The level of current flowing rises if the voltage is increased and falls if the resistance is increased.
All help is appreciated sorry if this isn't very technical
