The choke is a coil, not a transformer, When a current flows, an electrical field is created around the coil. If the current through the coil is removed abruptly the field collapses generating a high voltage due to induction.

The starter causes the abrupt "break" in the current, causing the high voltage.

The high voltage is applied across the light tube, causing a "flash over" in the tube, igniting the gas, making it conductive, leading to ionization, causing luminescence in the inner coating of the tube.

If voltage is increased then current automatically decreased. Function of choke is also to decrease the starting current.

The name comes from blocking""choking" high frequencies while passing low frequencies. It is a functional name; the same inductor is often called a "choke" if used for blocking or decoupling higher frequencies, but an "inductor" if used in electronic filters or tuned circuits. Inductors designed for use as chokes are usually distinguished by not having the low loss construction (high Q factor) required in inductors used in tuned circuits and filtering applications.

Choke provide high voltage and maintain constant watts.

Voltage is increase by the chock because chock is a stepup transformer. This high voltage is use it ionizes the atoms inside the tube. By this process conduction takes place by two terminals inside tube.

As for as my knowledge initially it boosts up the voltage and kept the Frequency maintain.

Choke provides a high ramp voltage to the tube light. This high ramp voltage ionise atoms of gas in the tube light. By which conduction takes place.

Stater is a capicitor which illuminate tubelight.

Chock is similar to regulator which maintain constant watts.

Choke commenly for two purpose first purpose is induce the high voltage(1000v) between two terminals of the bulb and maintain a reduced voltage(110v) during running.
