Q. The air gap in the iron core of an inductor prevents the

A
Hysteresis loss
B
Core saturation
C
Eddy current loss
D
Heat generation
Solution:

Air is a non magnetic material. It will not get saturated how much the magnetic field applied is. So in an inductor core when the air gap is provided, even at higher currents with high magnetic fields, the core will not get saturated easily.
