Problem 4. When you plug in a device like a computer, often there is a transformer box on the cable to lower the rms voltage to about 12 volts. A) Explain how such a transformer would work, at the detailed level of charges/currents/fields. (Probably will require ~3 sentences.) Give the relevant parameters to make sure it would end up at 12 volts if using an ordinary outlet.

Transformer Tb has a voltage-magnitude step-up toward the load of 1.05 times that of Ta (that is, the tap on the secondary winding of Tb is set to 1.05). The load is represented by 0.8+j0.6 per unit at a voltage V2=1.0/0 per unit.
