For a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current. So, in order to avoid enormous voltage drops along the lines, high energy losses, and the need for conductors with large cross-sectional areas, transmission voltages must be very high. This is achieved using Transformers. At the consumer end of the transmission/distribution system, transformers are needed to reduce the transmission/distribution voltages to safe levels required at homes and commercial/industrial loads.

Correct, but the question was "how", not "why".
An ordinary transformer consists of two separate coils of wire, the 'Primary' and 'Secondary' windings, on a 'Core' consisting of a stack of soft iron sheets lacquered to insulate them electrically from each other, to minimise internal losses.
As the input alternating current passes through the primary winding, it induces an alternating magnetic field in the core. In turn, that induces an alternating current in the secondary winding.
The number of turns in the coils matters: the ratio between input and output voltages, hence between their currents for the same power, is that of the turns; and the Volts and Amps ratios are inverted with respect to each other.
Hence 230V at 1A in a primary winding of 1000 turns will theoretically produce an output voltage & current of 23V at 10A in a 100 turns secondary - assuming the transformer is designed for that 230 Watts (which = Volts X Amps) power rating.
There are no direct electrical connections between the windings and the core. The link is entirely magnetic, but the induction will only work with alternating current. Having said that, there IS a type of transformer whose windings are connected electrically, but the principles are similar.
YES! Rare Earth, and electromagnets. Any coil is a magnet once electricity is added. Speakers use them, the receiver uses them and the amplifier uses magnets as well as the power supply and any noise chokes.
The radio will work fine, but there will be nothing to hear.
Only if you want the radio to work.

Unlike normal magnets, electromagnets attract just someof the alloys that contain iron, such as steel and iron, but not all of them. Electromagnets do not attract aluminium, copper, titanium,brass, bronze, tin, nickel, platinum, gold, silver, lead or pewter.Contrary to some opinions, electromagnets cannot attract cardboard.See also the related question.
Yes, they do. You need small electromagnets in the speakers so that you can hear the radio station. The incoming radio signal is converted to an electric current by the aerial, boosted by circuit boards in the radio, then transmitted by the speakers by using the current to vibrate the electromagnets.
Yes.
electromagnets
Anything that uses electromagnets to work, such as credit cards, monitors, or hard drives.
pick things upAnother AnswerElectromagnets are necessary for an electric motor to work. Electromagnets are used in ink jet printers to release ink, they activate relays and solenoids. Electromagnets are inside automotive fuel injectors. The old CRT televisions wouldn't work without some high powered electromagnets. Computers would be useless without electromagnets that operate disk drives and relays. Electromagnets are an essential part of all transformers.Essentially, modern technology would come to an end without electromagnets.
Electromagnets do not stay charged. They work by maintaining and creating a field around an object. If the force is broken then the magnet will go weak as well.
Electromagnets do not produce energy at all. They require an electric current to make them work so they are consumers of energy.
The motor of a fan works because of electromagnets, and electromagnets do work in vaccum so the fan will also work in vaccum.But, the fan will not cause any flow of anything because there is nothing to flow.

Electromagnets
you find electromagnets in electric bells,telephone,t.v,radio sets all sound systems and sometimes in fans.
The four types of electromagnets include solenoid electromagnets, flat-faced electromagnets, cylindrical electromagnets, and horseshoe electromagnets. Each type has unique features and applications depending on their design and magnetic field strength.
