← ScienceWhich limitation arises inside transformer cores using ferromagnetic lamination?
A)Hysteresis prevents full magnetic saturation
B)Eddy currents cause resistive heating✓
C)Barkhausen noise induces signal errors
D)Magnetostriction creates audible vibrations
💡 Explanation
Eddy currents increase because their circular motion generates resistance, causing ohmic heating within the core, therefore reducing transformer efficiency rather than hysteresis effects because of the continually reversing magnetic field.
