The mean thickness and variance of silicon steel laminations are 0.2 mm and 0.02
respectively. The varnish insulation is applied on both the sides of the laminations. The mean
thickness of one side insulation and its variance are 0.1 mm and 0.01 respectively. If the
transformer core is made using 100 such varnish coated laminations, the mean thickness and
variance of the core respectively are

The following arrangement consists of an ideal transformer and an attenuator
which attenuates by a factor of 0.8. An ac voltage VWX1 = 100V is applied across
WX to get an open circuit voltage VYZ1 across YZ. Next, an ac voltage VYZ2 =100V is
applied across YZ to get an open circuit voltage VWX2 across WX. Then,
$$\frac{V_{YZ1}}{V_{WX1}}$$, $$\frac{V_{WX2}}{V_{YZ2}}$$
are respectively,

A single phase 10 kVA, 50 Hz transformer with 1 kV primary winding draws 0.5 A and 55 W, at
rated voltage and frequency, on no load. A second transformer has a core with all its linear
dimensions $$\sqrt2$$ times the corresponding dimensions of the first transformer. The core material and
lamination thickness are the same in both transformers. The primary windings of both the
transformers have the same number of turns. If a rated voltage of 2 kV at 50 Hz is applied to the
primary of the second transformer, then the no load current and power, respectively, are
