    Which of the following losses in transformer is also known as variable loss?

    A) Copper loss

    B) Stray lose

    C) Dielectric loss

    D) Core loss

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct.
    Explanation: If the currents in primary and secondary windings of the transformer are \[{{I}_{1}}\] and \[{{I}_{2}}\] respectively and the resistances of theses winding are \[{{\operatorname{R}}_{1}}\] and \[{{\operatorname{R}}_{2}}\] then the copper losses  that occurred in the windings are \[{{I}_{1}}^{2}{{\operatorname{R}}_{1}}\] and \[{{I}_{2}}^{2}{{\operatorname{R}}_{2}}\] respectively. So, the entire copper loss will be \[{{I}_{1}}^{2}{{\operatorname{R}}_{1}}+{{I}_{2}}^{2}{{\operatorname{R}}_{2}}\].
    This loss is also called variable or ohmic losses because this loss changes based on the load.
