true

transformer

It induces a changing magnetic

field in one coil, which then induces an AC current in a nearby coil with a different number of turns.

They are needed to

transmit power at high voltage so power loss can be reduced.

false

Dividing the number of turns in the secondary

coil by the number of turns in the primary coil gives the ratio of the output voltage to the input voltage.
