Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Calculate the energy loss due to eddy currents in a transformer core where the core's temperature increases by 10 °C, given the specific heat capacity of the core material is 0.5 J/g°C and the core's mass is 500 g. How can this information inform design choices?

💡 Hint: Think about how heat and energy loss relate to temperature changes.

Question 2

Discuss the trade-offs of using thicker materials versus laminated cores in transformer design regarding eddy current formation. Analyze how each impacts efficiency and manufacturing.

💡 Hint: Consider the balance between manufacturing cost and device efficiency.
