← ScienceWhich mechanism causes hysteresis within transformer cores using AC?
A)Domain wall pinning impedes realignment.✓
B)Eddy current losses overheat insulation.
C)Dielectric breakdown creates leakage paths.
D)Crystal defects shift Curie temperature.
💡 Explanation
Domain wall pinning causes hysteresis because defects prevent magnetic domain realignment, therefore energy loss occurs with each AC cycle, rather than solely due to other effects like eddy currents.
