What: "In a mechanical analogy, an inductor is like a flywheel which stores energy, while a transformer is like a gearbox which trades speed for torque. Besides transforming voltage levels, transformers are also used to provide electrical isolation between two parts of a circuit; to provide impedance matching between circuits for maximum power transfer; and to sense voltage and currents (potential and current transformers)."
