Which outcome occurs within transformers using silicon steel cores when magnetic field frequency is high?

A)Increased core hysteresis losses
B)Reduced eddy current formation
C)Enhanced magnetic domain alignment
D)Decreased magnetostriction effects noticed

💡 Explanation

Increased hysteresis losses arise because rapid magnetic reversals require energy to overcome domain pinning; the energy dissipates as heat due to overcoming the ferromagnetic material's coercivity during the magnetization cycle. Therefore, hysteresis losses increase, rather than eddy currents diminishing under these conditions.
