A 2.0 kW2.0\,\text{kW} transformer operates at full load under the following conditions. a. (i) Before modification: copper loss =120 W=120\,\text{W}, core loss =80 W=80\,\text{W}. Calculate its full-load efficiency. b. (ii) After modification: the copper loss is reduced by 20 %20\,\% while the core loss remains the same. Calculate the new full-load efficiency. c. (iii) Find the percentage increase in efficiency due to the modification (answer to one decimal place).
