What is a current that flows in a circular path through the cross section of a transformer core that results in a loss?
A) Wire current
B) Dc current
C) Ac current
D) Eddy current

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor, such as the varying magnetic field of AC transformers. These currents flow in circular paths through the cross section of the conductor, including the core of a transformer, and can cause significant power losses and heating.
