Q1. A transformer on no-load has a core-loss of 50 W, draws a current of 2 A (rms)

and has an induced emf of 230 V (rms). Determine the no-load power factor, core-
loss current and magnetizing current. Also calculate the no-load circuit parameters of
the transformer. Neglect winding resistance and leakage flux.
