Question

Silicon steel is widely used for-

A.

Connecting rods

B.

Transformers

C.

Cutting tools

D.

Motor crank shafts

Correct option is B


Silicon steel is widely used in the manufacturing of transformers due to its excellent magnetic properties. The addition of silicon to steel increases its electrical resistivity and reduces eddy current losses, making it an ideal material for transformer cores, where efficiency and reduced energy loss are critical. This material is also used in other electrical applications such as inductors and electric motors.
