  • question_answer
    The core of a transformer is laminated as

    A) it improves the ratio of voltage in the primary and secondary may be increased.

    B) it checks rusting of the core may be stopped.

    C) it reduces energy losses due to eddy currents.

    D) it increases flux linkage.

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Option [c] is correct.
    Explanation: Laminated core means a layered core instead of a single solid core. Eddy currents 
    are current loops generated by changing magnetic fields. They flow magnetic fields. They flow in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
    Laminated magnetic core reduces eddy currents. For this reason, electrically isolated laminations are utilized to manufacture transformers.
