MCQ
In transformer, core is made of soft iron to reduce
  • Hysteresis losses
  • B
    Eddy current losses
  • C
    Force opposing electric current
  • D
    None of the above

Answer

Correct option: A.
Hysteresis losses
a
(a) There may be energy losses due to hysteresis loss. Soft magnetic materials have low hysteresis loss hence to reduce the hysteresis losses, soft iron core is used in transformer.
