प्रश्न
Mention the two characteristic properties of the material suitable for making core of a transformer.

उत्तर
Since due to iron core we have two types of losses,
1. Iron lossi.e. energy loss in the form of heat due to the induced eddy current that can be minimized by using thin laminated core.
2. Hysteresis loss due to alternately passing a current in the coil to magnetize and demagnetize the iron core. This can be reduced by using a special alloy of iron core with silicon.
So material with less iron loss and less hysteresis loss is used for making core of transformer.

Long distance power transmissions
The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
