Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 296
Question: Assertion : Soft iron is used as a core of transformer. Reason : Area of hysteresis is loop for soft iron is small.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.

Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
Hysteresis loss in the core of transformer directly proportional to the hysteresis loop area of the core material. Since soft iron has narrow hysteresis loop area, that is why soft iron core is used in the transformer.
