21. A transformer is an efficient device because it

  1. is a static device
  2. uses capacitive coupling
  3. uses inductive coupling
  4. uses electric coupling

Correct answer: (A)
is a static device

22. A transformer is so designed that primary and secondary windings have

  1. loose magnetic coupling
  2. tight magnetic coupling
  3. critical magnetic coupling
  4. good electric coupling

Correct answer: (B)
tight magnetic coupling

23. A transformer operates poorly at very low frequcnies because
