Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hysteresis Loss (1): Caused by the repeated reversal of magnetization in the core. Energy is lost as heat due to the magnetic friction of the core material. Flux Leakage (2): Occurs when not all magnetic lines of force from the primary coil pass through the secondary coil. This…
