why we use iron corn in transformer instead of wooden core..

Answer / virendra

Woooden is a insulator as it can not carry flux that's the
only reason

Answer / akhilesh kumar singh

because of iron core we can get better flux induction and easily instead of wooden core.

why we use iron corn in transformer instead of wooden core..

Answer / muhammad asghar

The purpose of core is to provide low reluctance path for
the magnetic flux linking primary and secondary windings.
So if we can't magnetize core electrically then there is no
use of core in transformer. This is the reason for using
electrical steel in transformer as a CORE material because
we can't magnetize wooden material electrically due to its
high reluctance.

Answer / dham nazzal

Dham Nazzal

iron core has a Good Permability, which is same as
conductivity in the conductors, which is the abality of
carring the mag. flux.

why we use iron corn in transformer instead of wooden core..

Answer / nitin shridhar

Just Compare
Electrical circuit Vs Magnetic Circuit.

In Electrical
Voltage= Current* Resistance

In Magnetic
MMF= Flux * Reluctance

We use Copper wire in Electrical circuit as its Resistance is low. Similarly We use Iron as Core Because its Reluctance is small.

why we use iron corn in transformer instead of wooden core..

Answer / arshad

Wood is a insulator but have low reluctance than air so if you are using a wooden core in place of iron or steel core in the transformer than leakage flux is very high so losses are very high and mutual flux is very less so the efficiency of the transformer is very less.

why we use iron corn in transformer instead of wooden core..

Answer / siba murugan .k

Woooden is a insulator and it doesnot carry any magnetic
flux . Iron core have good flux induction b/w the primary
and secondary.
Pls correct me, if i made a mistake
