Electromagnetic effects — practice question

Fig. 11.1 presents a transformer that can deliver two distinct output voltages from a $240\text{ V}$ mains a.c. supply. In this transformer, the primary coil contains 5000 turns, while the secondary coil has 250 turns between P and R.
(a)[1]

State the name given to this type of transformer.

(b)[2]

State which metal is used for the core and explain why it is appropriate.

(c(i))[3]

Calculate the output voltage across P and Q.

(c(ii))[2]

Compare the output voltage between P and Q with the output voltage between P and R. Explain your answer.
