Question

Assertion : Eddy currents heat up the core and dissipate electrical energy in the form of heat.

Reason : Eddy currents are always undesirable.

Choose the correct alternative corresponding to the given assertion and reason.

• A. Both assertion and reason are correct, and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion
• B. Both assertion and reason are correct, and reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion
• C. Assertion is correct, but reason is incorrect
• D. Assertion is incorrect, but reason is correct
