Assuming that both the windings of a transformer is wrapped around an iron core, how is an EMF induced in the secondary winding - isn't it necessary for flux to cut through the winding in order to induce an EMF?
Most of the flux from the primary remains inside the iron core while completing its loop and very little of it cuts the secondary winding (in an ideal transformer all the flux should remain inside the core), so very little power should be transferred to the secondary winding - but in a transformer nearly all the power from the primary is transferred... What am I missing here?
