The hysteresis loss in a transformer is ________. A)caused by the resistance of the Wire B)caused by rapid reversal of the magnetic field C)another name for flux leakage loss D)caused by current flowing in the core

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hysteresis loss is caused by the rapid reversal of the magnetic field as the transformer's core alternates between magnetized and demagnetized states. This causes energy to be dissipated as heat, resulting in a loss of efficiency. The resistance of the wire, flux leakage loss, and current flowing in the core can also contribute to overall power losses in a transformer, but they are not specifically related to hysteresis loss.
