The core of a transformer is made in a laminated form to: A) facilitate easy assembly B) reduce i²R losses in the coils C) increase the magnetic flux D) save weight E) prevent eddy currents

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laminating the core of a transformer reduces eddy currents, which are loops of electric current induced within the core due to the changing magnetic field. This reduction in eddy currents decreases energy losses and improves efficiency.
