This is a picture of a transformer, which converts current in one coil of wire into current in an adjacent coil of wire.  Why is the current in the 2 coils different?

The current in the first coil induces a magnetic field, that in tern creates current in the neighboring coil. If they experience the same magnetic field, then more coils = more current.
