Hello this question is related to my school project assignment i would like what happens when a core of transformer is laminated.
Why transformers core are laminated.
The purpose of providing an iron core in a transformer is to.
Does it depend core size and material.
A transformer core is laminated to.
In transformer the eddy current loss is proportional to the square of the diameter of the core larger the diameter more the eddy current loss.
Hence transformer core is laminated so that the net effective diameter of the transformer core reduces and thus eddy current loss can be minimized.
The core is laminated to reduce these to a minimum as they interfere with the efficient transfer of energy from the primary coil to the secondary one.

The iron core transformer has higher permeability thus it is applied in transformer in place of air core in modern transformer.
The core is not designed to have any currents flow through it.

Laminated magnetic core reduces eddy currents.
These are called eddy currents.
Why iron core is thin laminated in transformer.
For this reason electrically isolated laminations are utilized to manufacture transformers.
Reduce all above losses.
It is however a conducting loop that experiences a changing magnetic field it will therefore have small current induced in it.
Why a transformer core is laminated.
Eddy current is induced in core and circulates normal to the width of the core causing heat.
But a solid iron core has some own disadvantage due to to some losses.
A transformer is a passive electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one electrical circuit to another or multiple circuits a varying current in any one coil of the transformer produces a varying magnetic flux in the transformer s core which induces a varying electromotive force across any other coils wound around the same core.
Reduce eddy current losses.
A magnetic core is a piece of magnetic material with a high magnetic permeability used to confine and guide magnetic fields in electrical electromechanical and magnetic devices such as electromagnets transformers electric motors generators inductors magnetic recording heads and magnetic assemblies it is made of ferromagnetic metal such as iron or ferrimagnetic compounds such as ferrites.
