NEET2006PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
The core of a transformer is laminated because:
Options
- Aratio of voltage in primary and secondary may be increased
- Benergy losses due to eddy currents may be minimised
- Cthe weight of the transformer may be reduced
- Drusting of the core may be prevented
Correct answer
B. energy losses due to eddy currents may be minimised
Step-by-step solution
The core of a transformers is laminated to minimise the energy losses due to eddy currents.
