The loss of power in a transformer can be reduced by :

A

Increasing the number of turns in primary

B

Using solid core made of steel

C

Increasing ac voltage applied to primary

D

Using a laminated core of soft iron.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

Due to the constantly changing magnetic field. There is a loss of current in the core. This current is known as eddy current. To reduce eddy current losses, we use a laminated core of soft iron.
