why transformer do not rotate?

Answer Posted / krishna kumar.k

A transformer & an induction motor, which rotates, work on
the same principle of electromagnetic induction. In the case
of a motor, the rotor,which can be compared to the secondary
of a transformer,is wound on physically free to rotate
arrangement and hence it rotates.

But a transformer secondary is physically not designed and
is not free to rotate.
