### Step-by-Step Solution **(a) Principle of Working of a Transformer:** A transformer operates on the principle of mutual induction. It consists of two coils, the primary coil and the secondary coil, wound around a magnetic core. When an alternating current flows through the primary coil, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in the secondary coil, allowing electrical energy to be transferred from the primary to the secondary coil. **(b) Efficiency of a Transformer:** The efficiency (η) of a transformer is defined as the ratio of the power output to the power input. It can be mathematically expressed as: \[ ...
