Any transformer flux that does not follow the core and escapes into the surrounding air is called _____.

A) magnetizing flux
B) flux coupling
C) flux leakage
D) flux reactance

Flux Leakage

The number of magnetic flux lines that radiate into space and do not cut through the conductors of an inductor or secondary winding of a transformer.

Magnetizing Flux

The magnetic field generated in a material, or space, by the flow of electric current or by magnetization.

Flux Coupling

The process or degree to which magnetic lines of force pass from one component to another, such as in transformers.

  • Discern and grasp the elementary operations and constituents of a transformer.
  • Comprehend the critical role that flux plays in the operation of transformers, with a focus on the ideas of flux leakage and magnetizing flux.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Flux leakage in a transformer refers to the magnetic flux that does not follow the intended path through the core but instead leaks into the surrounding air. This phenomenon reduces the efficiency of the transformer by not contributing to the energy transfer between the primary and secondary coils.
