← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a ferromagnetic core saturates?
A)Increases hysteresis losses significantly✓
B)Reduces eddy current in windings
C)Enhances mutual inductance strongly
D)Increases permeability substantially
💡 Explanation
Hysteresis increases in a saturated core, because domain alignment becomes irreversible, the mechanism behind hysteresis. Therefore, energy dissipates due to overcoming the energy barrier between magnetic states rather than efficiently transferring magnetic flux, as permeability significantly lowers at the saturation point.
