Now i need to explain how a transformer work
In a transformer the backemf of the primary that restricts the current is the same emf in the secondary, and so as a load is connected to the secondary, the current flow generates an electro magnetic field that kills the primary back emf making a current flow in to the load and primary.
emf is electromotive force, i coud call it voltage , or talk about effective voltage across the inductor being the applied subtracted off the Back voltage to the source or back electromotive force.
The amp restriction is this extreme abruptness where electrical stress is propagated while no current is flowing.
