Material used for construction of transformer core is usually___________________?
Correct answer: D. silicon steel
- A. wood
- B. copper
- C. aluminium
- D. silicon steel
Explanation
Silicon steel is used for transformer cores because its high electrical resistivity reduces eddy-current loss and its magnetic properties reduce hysteresis loss. Copper and aluminium are mainly used for windings, not the core.
