Basic Transformer Construction - Parts of Single Phase Transformer

Question: Describe the basic construction and parts of a Transformer?

The basic construction of transformer involves two coils of wire that are wrapped around a ferromagnetic core.

The figure below shows a transformer cut in half and showing its core and windings:

Note that the transformer has two windings namely:

And a core. Note that the core of transformer is laminated (made of thin sheets) in order to reduce Eddy current losses.
