The path of magnetic flux in a transformer should have

Right Answer is:

Low reluctance

SOLUTION

The path of magnetic flux in a transformer should have low reluctance.

  • Magnetic reluctance, or magnetic resistance, is a concept used in the analysis of magnetic circuits. It is analogous to resistance in an electrical circuit, but rather than dissipating electric energy it stores magnetic energy.
  • Low the reluctance, less the opposition to flux therefore more flux can pass through the transformer core.

Also from the equation

Flux = MMF/Re

Where Re = Reluctance

So lower the reluctance higher will be the flux flow.
