What are the two types of transformers?

The two general categories of transformer, based on their construction, are (a) mutual transformers and (b) autotransformers.Mutual transformers have two coils, or 'windings', termed the primary (input side) and the secondary (output side), which are electrically isolated from each other, being linked with a magnetic field.Autotransformers have a single, shared, winding and so, do not provide isolation between the primary and secondary sides.Mutual transformers can be further classified, according to their function: e.g. power transformers, distribution transformers, isolation transformers, instrument transformers, matching transformers, etc.


How are step-up and step-down transformers used in the transmission of electric current from the electric company to homes?

(This is what my teacher said, I wrote this down in my notes) The answer is, Step-up transformers are used to increase the voltage of an electric current before it is sent out over transmission lines from the electric company. Step-down transformers are used to reduce the voltage of current from high-voltage transmission lines before it enters homes and businesses. Some devices, such as televisions, contain step-up transformers that increase the voltage once again.
