← ScienceWhich constraint primarily limits a modern inductor's saturation current?
A)Hysteresis losses dominate at threshold
B)Curie temperature weakens ferromagnetism✓
C)Eddy current heating creates impedance
D)Skin effect limits the windings
💡 Explanation
The Curie temperature restricts inductor saturation because it defines the temperature at which a ferromagnetic core loses its ferromagnetism via the Curie effect. Therefore inductance abruptly drops, rather than gradually decreasing due to hysteresis effects at lower-than-Curie temperatures.
