Q132 / 200 · NEET 2006 · Physics

The core of a transformer is laminated because:

  • A
    ratio of voltage in primary and secondary may be increased
  • Correct answer
    B
    energy losses due to eddy currents may be minimised
  • C
    the weight of the transformer may be reduced
  • D
    rusting of the core may be prevented

Solution

The core of a transformers is laminated to minimise the energy losses due to eddy currents.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
