Answer
(a) The material used for the core is soft iron. It is made up from thin laminated sheets of soft iron of T and U shape, placed alternately one above the other and insulated from each other by paint (or varnish) coating over them.
(b) Completed diagram is shown below:
(c) As 220 V is converted to 44 V hence, it is a step down transformer.
