← ScienceWhich mechanism limits efficiency during rapid heating through Curie temperature transition in a ferromagnetic core?
A)Hysteresis losses from domain realignment✓
B)Eddy current losses in conductive core
C)Increased radiative heat transfer
D)Decreased thermal conductivity near Tc
💡 Explanation
When rapidly heating through the Curie temperature, increased hysteresis losses occur because energy input forces domain realignment, but thermal inertia restricts the magnetic domains' alignment speed. Therefore, hysteresis limits efficiency, rather than eddy currents, radiative transfer, or conductivity which are separate thermal effects.
