Probably a simple question for electrical people, to which I never picked up the answer in my studies. I know I'm missing something simple, or just thinking about it the wrong way.
A transformer increases voltage, and decreases current. And yet...Ohms law states that higher voltage results in higher current. For some reason this doesn't fit into what a transformer does. So, what gives?
I should know this because a transformer is analagous to a transmission in a mechanical system, and mechanically it somehow makes sense. But electrically it doesn't. I'm missing some key piece, and I need someone to walk me through this please...
