An energy transformation is the change of energyfrom one form to another. Energy transformations occur everywhere every second of the day. There are many different forms of energy such as electrical, thermal, nuclear, mechanical, electromagnetic, sound, and chemical.

This may be oversimplistic, but I'll give it a shot. I think in many cases energy can be thought of as motion or potential motion (i.e. when you hold an apple in the air it has potential energy because if you let it out of your hand it will fall and gain motion or kinetic energy). The transformation of the energy can either be a change from one type of motion to another (for instance, a Baseball gains kinetic energy after being hit off of a tee, but its gain is the loss of the baseball bat and the batter so the energy was transferred), from potential motion to motion(a roller coaster at the top of a peak on the track will gain kinetic energy as it begins to plummet but it will lose gravitational potential energy), or from motion to potential motion (as the roller coaster moves down one hill and up another one unassisted, its kinetic energy is returned to gravitational potential energy; hence it slows down as it moves up the hill, but it gains gravitational potential energy once again and will therefore be able to accelerate down the other side of the hill). There are, of course, many other types of energy transformations.

It means that energy is changed (transformed) from one type of energy to another.

What is the efficiency of a transformer?

The "all day" efficiency of a transformer is defined as the ratio of energy out/energy in for a given all day cycle.


Does a transformer convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?

No. A transformer doesn't source or sink energy, or convert energy from one form to another.The ideal transformer merely changes the parameters of an electrical current, with no effect on energy levels.A non-ideal (real-life) transformer decreases the energy in the electrical circuit, because its lossesrob some of the energy and turn it to heat.

Anything that draws energy from a supply is a load. So you 'load' a transformer by attaching a lamp, a motor, etc., to the transformer's secondary windings.
