Question:

Which of the following is an incorrect statement?

Options:

Copper loss can be minimised using thick wires.

Iron loss cannot be minimised by taking laminated cores.

Hysteresis loss can be minimised by using a magnetic material which has a low hysteresis loss.

Leakage of magnetic flux can be reduced by winding the primary over the secondary coil.

Correct Answer:

Iron loss cannot be minimised by taking laminated cores.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Iron loss cannot be minimised by taking laminated cores.

Iron loss (also known as core loss) in transformer consists of hysteresis loss and Eddy current loss and iron loss can be minimized by using by using laminated core.
