Best Answer

All Transformers are magnetic. A transformer is two (or more) coils of wire wound together. The varying magnetic field created by the primary winding induces a current in the secondary coils proportional to the ratio of the number of turns. You're probably refering to a switchmode powersupply as a "electronic transformer" (which is bad nomenclature, by the way). A switch mode supply actually contains a normal transformer in its core, along with circuitry to allow for a wide input fange and a narrow output range.

What is the difference between core type and shell type transformers?

The difference is between how the windings relate to magnetic material around which they are wound. If this magnetic material surrounds the windings then the device is said to be a shell type transformer. If the windings cover the exterior of the magnetic material then the transformer is said to be of the core type. Please see the link.
