← ScienceWhich mechanism minimizes energy loss during power transmission through high-voltage electrical transformers?
A)Lenz's law enhancing eddy currents
B)Faraday's law increasing core saturation
C)Transformer oil impeding heat conduction
D)Laminating the core reducing eddy currents✓
💡 Explanation
When AC current flows through the transformer, the laminations of the core reduce eddy current losses, thereby minimizing energy dissipation as heat, this happens because thinner laminations increase resistance. Therefore laminating the core gives efficient energy transfer, rather than saturation, heat conduction, or additional eddy current induction that would increase energy losses.
