The effective resistance of an iron-cored choke working on ordinary supply frequency is more than its true resistance because of____________?

Correct answer: A. iron loss in core

  • A. iron loss in core
  • B. skin effect
  • C. increase in temperature
  • D. capacitive effect between adjacent coil turns

Explanation

An iron-cored choke has core losses, such as hysteresis and eddy-current losses, which can be represented as an additional effective resistance. Hence its AC effective resistance exceeds its winding's true resistance.
