A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled electrical conductors. A changing current in the first circuit (the primary) creates a changing magnetic field; in turn, this magnetic field induces a changing voltage in the second circuit (the secondary). By adding a load to the secondary circuit, one can make current flow in the transformer, thus transferring energy from one circuit to the other.The secondary induced voltage V_S, of an ideal transformer, is scaled from the primary V_P by a factor equal to the ratio of the number of turns of wire in their respective windings:
By appropriate selection of the numbers of turns, a transformer thus allows an alternating voltage to be stepped up — by making N_S more than N_P — or stepped down, by making it less.Transformers are some of the most efficient electrical ‘machines’,^[1] with some large units able to transfer 99.75% of their input power to their output.^[2] Transformers come in a range of sizes from a thumbnail-sized coupling transformer hidden inside a stage microphone to huge units weighing hundreds of tons used to interconnect portions of national power grids

CAMP LAZLO is an Emmy nominated, American animated television series created by Joe Murray, produced by Cartoon Network Studios and currently airs on Cartoon Network.

[edit] Theme song

There were some scouts who made a friend and Lazlo was his Name-O!
L-A-Z-L-O
L-A-Z-L-O
L-A-Z-L-O
And Lazlo was his name-O!
And then the three went to camp and turned it upside-down-o!
L-A-Z-L-O
L-A-Z-L-O
L-A-Z-L-O…!
And Lazlo was his name-O!!!!!
