In AC. circuits, laminated iron is invariably used in order to__________?

Correct answer: A. reduce eddy current loss

  • A. reduce eddy current loss
  • B. increase heat radiation
  • C. make assembly cheap and easier
  • D. reduce circuit permeability

Explanation

Laminating an iron core breaks up the paths available for circulating eddy currents, greatly reducing eddy-current loss. The laminations are insulated from one another to increase this effect.
