Transformer (noun) Definition, Meaning & Examples

noun
  1. a person or thing that causes or undergoes a change in appearance, structure, character, etc.
  2. an electric device consisting essentially of two or more windings wound on the same core, which by electromagnetic induction transforms electric energy from one set of one or more circuits to another set of one or more circuits such that the frequency of the energy remains unchanged while the voltage and current usually change.
  3. a type of neural network that uses statistical relationships between sequential data, such as words and sentences, to learn context and produce output.
noun
  1. a device that transfers an alternating current from one circuit to one or more other circuits, usually with an increase (step-up transformer) or decrease (step-down transformer) of voltage. The input current is fed to a primary winding, the output being taken from a secondary winding or windings inductively linked to the primary
  2. a person or thing that transforms
