NEET Physics Question - Magnetic Effects of Current

Assertion (A): Soft iron is used as transformer core.

Reason (R): Soft iron has narrow hysteresis loop.

(1) Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)

(2) Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)

(3) (A) is true but (R) is false

(4) Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Soft iron is preferred for transformer cores because its narrow hysteresis loop indicates low energy loss (heat) during repeated cycles of magnetisation and demagnetisation. This property is crucial for efficient transformer operation. Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation of the Assertion.
