3. When secondary of a current transformer is open-circuited its iron core will be ?

hot because of heavy iron core losses taking place in it due to high flux density

hot because primary will carry heavy current

cool as there is no secondary current

none of above will happen

Answer: hot because of heavy iron core losses taking place in it due to high flux density

Explanation:


4. Greater the secondary leakage flux ?

less will be the secondary induced e.m.f.
