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

Solution
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.
