(a) What are eddy currents? How are these currents reduced in the metallic cores of transformers?
(b) A step down transformer operates on a 2.5KV line. It supplies a load with 20A. The ratio of the primary winding to the secondary is 10: 1. If the transformer is 90% efficient, calculate:
(i) the power output,
(ii) the voltage, and
(iii) the current in the secondary.
