← ScienceWhich mechanism causes induced current flow when an AC transformer's ferrite core saturates?
A)Decreased peak magnetic flux density
B)Increased core eddy current losses✓
C)Hysteresis loop area reduction
D)Coercivity field intensity increase
💡 Explanation
Core saturation elevates eddy current losses because the changing magnetic fields can no longer easily align domains, therefore energy dissipates as localized currents which opposes the main field, rather than continued efficient induction.
