What is the function of a transformer?

What is the function of a transformer? Correct Answer Transformer is used to step down or up the AC voltages and currents

A Transformer does not work on DC and operates only on AC, therefore it Step up or Step down the level of AC Voltage or Current, by keeping frequency of the supply unaltered on the secondary side.
