The core of a transformer is laminated to reduce MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The core of a transformer is laminated to reduce
A. Hysteresis loss
B. Eddy current loss
C. Copper loss
D. Flux leakage
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Lamination of core increases resistance to circulating eddy currents, reducing eddy current losses (I²R). Hysteresis loss reduced by using soft iron. Copper loss is in windings. Lamination is insulation between layers.

Question #1
A car accelerates from rest at 2 m/s² for 10 s, then moves with constant velocity for 10 s. Total distance covered is
A. 400 m
B. 300 m
C. 200 m
D. 100 m

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Acceleration phase: s₁ = ½a t² = ½×2×100 = 100 m, v = a t = 20 m/s. Constant velocity phase: s₂ = v×t = 20×10 = 200 m. Total = 300 m. Motion in two parts.

Question #2
In uniform circular motion, which of the following is constant?
A. Velocity
B. Kinetic energy
C. Linear momentum
D. Centripetal acceleration

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Speed constant, so kinetic energy (½mv²) constant. Velocity, acceleration, momentum change direction.

Question #3
The value of g at the centre of Earth is
A. Zero
B. 9.8 m/s²
C. 4.9 m/s²
D. Infinite

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
g decreases with depth: g' = g(1 - d/R). At centre d=R, g'=0. Weightless at centre. At poles g=9.83, equator 9.78. At surface it's maximum.
