Question 47
Electromagnetic InductionWhat precaution should a manufacturer take to ensure that energy loss in a transformer is minimized?
- A.The winding of the transformer should be made of high resistance wires
- B.The core should be made of thin sheets of metal
- C.No magnetic material should be used to make the core
- D.The flux linking the primary with the secondary coils should be minimum.
