Adjecent figure shows a point P near a long conductor XY carrying a current I. MN is a short current carrying conductor, kept at the point P, parallel to the conductor XY.
(i) What is the direction of magnetic flux density ‘B’ at the point P due to the current flowing through XY?
(ii) What is the direction of the force experienced by the conductor MN due to the current flowing through XY?
Four different types of losses in a transformer:
(i) Eddy current losses.
(ii) Hysteresis losses.
(iii) Copper losses
(iv) Magnetic flux leakage losses.
To reduce/minimize eddy current losses the core is made of laminated sheets of Iron, insulated from each other.
