Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- Eddy currents (also called Foucault currents) are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday's law of induction.
- Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field.
- The eddy currents cause energy to be lost from the transformer as they heat up the core i.e. electrical energy is being wasted as unwanted heat energy.
- So that core is laminated to reduce eddy current to a minimum as they interfere with the efficient transfer of energy from the primary coil to the secondary one.
