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

An alternating voltage source is connected to a series \(RC\) circuit. Consider two situations:
1. When the capacitor is air-filled. 
2. When the capacitor is mica filled. 

If the current through the resistor is \(I\) and the voltage across the capacitor is \(V\), then:
1. \(V_a < V_b\)
2. \(V_a > V_b\)
3. \(i_a > i_b\)
4. \(V_a = V_b\)
