6.1) Why is iron a suitable material for the core of a transformer? [1 mark]
Tick one box.
Tick one box.
A student makes three simple transformers, J, K and L.
Figure 13 shows how the potential difference across the secondary coil of each transformer varies as the potential difference across the primary coil of each transformer is changed.
