Explain how laminating the core of a transformer helps to reduce eddy current losses in it

Hey buddy-
● Why laminations are used in transformers-
- Eddy currents are produced as a result of induced emf from secondary coil of transformer.
- Laminations around the core of transformer provides small gaps in between which increases the resistance of the coil.
- This resistance will reduce the total current and thus keeps the eddy current losses in check.
Hope this is helpful...

A transformer consists of two electrically isolated coils and operates on Faraday's principal of “mutual induction”, in which an EMF is induced in the transformers secondary coil by the magnetic flux generated by the voltages and currents flowing in the primary coil winding.
