	If the two coils are different sizes, the voltage will be multiplied from the smaller one to the larger one. This can be used to make voltages required to melt things or make [[Plasma]].		If the two coils are different sizes, the voltage will be multiplied from the smaller one to the larger one. This can be used to make voltages required to melt things or make [[Plasma]].

			== Transformer Equation ==
			The transformer can be used to "step up" or "step down" voltage based on the number of coils on each side. This is done by varying the number of coils on each side.

			For example, consider two coils labeled '''L''' and '''R''' placed next to each other to form a transformer. The ratio of turns between coils '''L''' and '''R''' is equal to the voltage ratio between those two coils.
