Q. What will be the energy loss per hour in the iron core of a transformer if the area of its hysteresis loop is equivalent to 2500 erg/cm³. The frequency of alternating current is 50 Hz. The mass of core is 10 Kg and the density of iron is 7.5 gm/cm³.
(a) 2 × 10-2 Joule
(b) 4 × 103 Joule
(c) 6 × 104 Joule
(d) 8 × 105 Joule

Ans: (c)
Sol: Total energy loss
$ \displaystyle = \nu A V t $
$\displaystyle = \nu A \times \frac{m}{\rho}\times t $
$ \displaystyle = 50 \times \frac{250 \times 10^{-7}}{10^{-6}} \times \frac{10}{7.5 \times 10^3}\times 3600 $
