The core of a transformer is laminated because:

Options

  1. Aratio of voltage in primary and secondary may be increased
  2. Benergy losses due to eddy currents may be minimised
  3. Cthe weight of the transformer may be reduced
  4. 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.
