A transformer contains ____ coils of wire wrapped around a(n) iron core.
A
two
B
three
C
four
D
five
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A transformer is a device that changes AC electric power at one voltage level to AC electric power at another voltage level through the action of magnetic field. It consists of two or more coils of wire wrapped around a common ferromagnetic core. These coils are called primary winding and secondary winding.

Detailed explanation-2: -In real transformers, the two coils are wound onto the same iron core. The purpose of the iron core is to channel the magnetic flux generated by the current flowing around the primary coil, so that as much of it as possible also links the secondary coil.

Detailed explanation-3: -In a single-phase voltage transformer the primary is usually the side with the higher voltage. These two coils are not in electrical contact with each other but are instead wrapped together around a common closed magnetic iron circuit called the “core”.

Detailed explanation-4: -A transformer consists of two coils of wire called windings, which are wound onto a common iron core. The wire used in the two windings, primary and secondary, is coated with an insulating varnish. Both coils are wound onto, but insulated from the iron core.

Detailed explanation-5: -That is a transformer. It essentially consists of two coils, a primary coil and secondary coil. These to coils are located such that the magnetic field produced by the primary coil all passes through the secondary coil.
