Laminated core in a transformer is used to reduce:
Correct answer: A. Eddy current losses
- A. Eddy current losses
- B. iron losses
- C. Hysterisis losses
- D. Heal loses due to resitance
Explanation
The insulation between lamination sheets should be perfect so as to stop the flow of eddy currents. The iron core of a transformer is laminated to reduce eddy currents. Eddy currents are the small currents that result from the changing magnetic field created by the alternating current in the first coil.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
