MCQ
Assertion : A laminated core is used in transformers to increase eddy currents.

Reason : The efficiency of a transformer increases with increase in eddy currents.

  • A
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • B
    If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
  • C
    If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
  • ✓
    If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
✓

Answer

Correct option: D.
If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect.
d
Large eddy currents are produced in nonlaminated iron core of the transformer by the induced $emf$, as the resistance of bulk iron core is very small. By using thin iron sheets as core the resistance is increased. Laminating the core substantially reduces the eddy currents. Eddy current heats up the core of the transformer. More the eddy currents greater is the loss of energy and the efficiency goes down.
