    This document contains questions and answers about transformers. It discusses that a transformer's power factor is low without a load but close to the load's power factor when loaded. It also describes transformers as devices that transfer electrical energy between circuits via mutual induction, maintaining frequency but changing voltage. Key parts are identified as the core, primary and secondary windings, tank, terminals and other components. The document explains that the supply is given to the primary winding and taken from the secondary, and that laminated silicon steel is used for the core due to its properties.
