Eddy current loss in core of a transformer is

  • A. Directly proportional to resistivity of core material
  • B. Directly proportional to square of resistivity of core material
  • C. Inversely proportional to square of resistivity of core material
  • D. Inversely proportional to resistivity of core material

Answer: D. Inversely proportional to resistivity of core material

Explanation: Eddy current loss per unit volume is Pe = (π²·f²·Bm²·t²) / (6·ρ), which is inversely proportional to the electrical resistivity ρ of the core laminations.
