Hysteresis loss in a transformer is minimised by choosing a core of:
ANarrow-loop soft iron
BWide-loop hard steel
CPermanent magnet alloy
DThin copper sheet
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Narrow-loop soft iron
Repeated reversal of magnetisation wastes energy in proportion to the area of the hysteresis loop, so a narrow-loop material is used.
