Which of the following correctly describes the design components of a standard transformer and the reason for choosing the core material?
A steel core (because it retains magnetism permanently) and one primary coil.
A soft iron core (because it is easily magnetized and demagnetized) and two separate coils of wire.
A soft iron core (because it is easily magnetized and demagnetized) and one continuous coil of wire.
A steel core (because it has high mechanical strength) and two separate coils of wire.
