Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
Eddy currents are produced due to varying magnetic fields. These flow in loops in a conductor and results in heavy losses in the form of heat energy .
Laminating the core decreases the flow of eddy currents and thus increases the efficiency of a transformer.
