Detailed Solution
Eddy current magnitude can be reduced by designing the core as a set of thin sheets or laminations, in parallel to the magnetic field. Each sheet must be insulated from its neighbours with a thin coating of varnish or oxide film. By laminating the core, the area of each section and hence the induced EMF is reduced
