Transformers act sort of like gears in a transmission 
Changing the current, and voltage by adjusting the primary and secondary windings like gear ratios 

There are 2 types stepup and stepdown 

*Step-up 
(low voltage,high current)=(high voltage,low current)
the Primary winding has few turns and the Secondary has many 

*Step-down 
(high voltage,low current)=(low voltage,high current)
the primary winding has many turns and the secondary has few

Here are the formulas for finding the voltage and currents of the transformation

Secondary Current=Primary Current(primary turns/secondary turns)

Secondary Voltage=Primary Voltage(secondary turns/primary turns)
