Which phenomenon minimizes eddy current losses in transformer cores subjected to alternating magnetic fields?

💡 Explanation

When alternating magnetic fields induce eddy currents in transformer cores, laminating the core increases resistance due to multiple thin insulated layers, thereby drastically reducing circulating current. Therefore lamination minimizes eddy current losses, rather than options involving frequency, permeability, or DC bias, which affect magnetizing currents or saturation.
