The core of a transformer is laminated because:

1. Energy losses due to eddy currents may be minimized
2. The weight of the transformer may be reduced
3. Rusting of the core may be prevented
4. Ratio of voltage in primary and secondary may be increased

Given below are two statements: 
Assertion (A): If the terminals of the primary of a transformer are connected across a battery then no emf is induced across the secondary in a steady state.
Reason (R): The battery provides a steady current, so there is no change in flux linked with the secondary.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. Both (A) and (R) are False.

The primary and secondary coils of a transformer have \(50\) and \(1500\) turns respectively. If the magnetic flux \(\phi\) linked with the primary coils is given by \(\phi=\phi_0+4t\), where \(\phi\) is in webers, \(t\) is time in seconds, and \(\phi_0\) is a constant, the output voltage across the secondary coil is:
1. \(120\) V 2. \(220\) V
3. \(30\) V 4. \(90\) V
