An iron core onto which the coils are wound improves the voltage output by increasing the flux density, but causes two undesirable effects: eddy-current losses and hysteresis losses. Eddy-Current Losses Since iron is an electrical conductor, the rotation of an iron core within a magnetic field generates an EMF in the iron core itself, which …
