← ScienceWhich risk increases when residual strain distorts ferrite cores in a transformer?
A)Eddy current loss elevates unduly✓
B)Hysteresis heating diminishes predictably
C)Dielectric breakdown improves markedly
D)Magnetic saturation flux lessens severely
💡 Explanation
Increased eddy current loss arises because strain-induced disruption generates more conductive paths within the core, stimulating Foucault's current; therefore, loss elevates rather than improving the core properties or saturation, because this affects resistive AC losses rather than magnetic capacity.
