Question

Explain why thermal energy is generated in the core when the transformer is
in use.

Answer 1

Answer:

These cannot be magnetized as strongly as iron. So when connected to a 50Hz supply, the core "saturates" - it becomes as strongly magnetized as it can be. The magnetic field isn't enough to limit the current through the primary, and the transformer overheats.
