🔍 Key Concepts

• Eddy currents in magnetic materials and how they cause power loss and heating • Why laminations (thin insulated sheets of iron) are used in electrical machine cores • Relationship between resistance, current path, and I²R losses in metals

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens when a solid block of iron is exposed to a changing magnetic field. How do circulating currents form inside it? • If you slice that block into thin insulated sheets (laminations), what happens to the size and strength of those circulating currents? • How does increasing the electrical resistance of each possible current path affect the amount of power lost as heat?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the definition of eddy currents and why they are undesirable in armatures and fields • Consider whether laminations change the magnitude of eddy currents, the number of paths, or both • Check which choice (if any) correctly describes how laminations reduce losses by affecting the path and resistance of eddy currents
