Doorbell transformer

Hi this may be a stupid question but I am trying to find a doorbell transformer and want to know if this may be it? The wires at the doorbell aren’t getting any voltage to them so I have to charge my ring doorbell which is sometimes a PIA.
If this could be it, what would be the next steps to see about fixing it? I appreciate the help!

The ring doorbell is a bell with video that you can speak to someone while they are at the door and you aren’t home or don’t want to answer

Check at your electrical panels. Check at pull chain light fixtures in the basement.
Possibly at a junction box in the attic.

The doorbell and it's transformer are usually combined in the same unit. So just look for your doorbell which should be easy to find. if it's a decorative chime it will be plainly visible in the living space near the ceiling on a wall. If it's the old bell then look in your garage up high on the walls.

Those are phone lines.

The door bell transformer looks like this. It could be on your panel or a an exposed junction box somewhere.
