In a transformer,the core is made of soft iron to reduce:

If a step-up transformer has a turn ratio of $5$,a frequency of $50 \, Hz$,the root mean square $(RMS)$ value of the potential difference on the primary is $100 \, V$,and the resistance of the secondary winding is $500 \, \Omega$,then the peak value of the voltage in the secondary winding will be (the efficiency of the transformer is $100 \%$).

The primary of a transformer has $100$ turns and operates at $100 \,V - 200 \,W$. The number of turns in the secondary,if the output voltage is $2000 \,V$,is:

$1\, MW$ power is to be delivered from a power station to a town $10\, km$ away. One uses a pair of $Cu$ wires of radius $0.5\, cm$ for this purpose. Calculate the fraction of ohmic losses to power transmitted if
$(a)$ power is transmitted at $220\, V$. Comment on the feasibility of doing this.
$(b)$ a step-up transformer is used to boost the voltage to $11000\, V$,power is transmitted,then a step-down transformer is used to bring voltage to $220\, V$.
