Why is the core of a transformer made of soft iron?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The core of a transformer is made of soft iron because it has high permeability, so it provides complete linkage of the magnetic flux of the primary coil to the secondary coil. Secondly, the hysteresis loss of energy in soft iron is less.
