Answer 1

Loss in Transformer:

A transformer is a static device that converts electrical power from one circuit to another without changing its frequency.
Transformers are most commonly used to increase (step-up) or decrease (step down) voltage levels between circuits.
Transformer energy losses are mainly due to winding and core losses.
For an ideal transformer, the value of input power is equal to the output power.
But in the case of the practical transformer, the power loss occurs by means of core loss and winding loss.
This power loss is the difference of input primary power to output secondary power.
