MCQ
In transformer, core is made of soft iron to reduce
- ✓Hysteresis losses
- BEddy current losses
- CForce opposing electric current
- DNone 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.
