alleryWhich transformer loss arises from currents induced in the iron core itself?
AEnding currents
BEchoing currents
CEddy currents
DEdging currents
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Eddy currents
1. The alternating flux passes through the conducting core.
2. That flux induces circulating currents inside the metal.
3. The alternating magnetic flux induces eddy currents in the iron core and causes heating.
4. So the answer is eddy currents.
