Alternating Current

Question:

The core of a transformer is laminated to:

Options:

increase energy loss

reduce energy loss

increase magnetic flux

increase resistance

Correct Answer:

reduce energy loss

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → reduce energy loss

The core of a transformer is made up of many metal piece glued together instead of one single iron block. This lamination reduces the area of the each part, which increase the resistance and limits eddy currents.
