Heat is produced in both the wire and the core.

That is a common, but incorrect assumption. My statement is on the basis of a controlled experiment, running 1.5kW through a choke for a while and FEELING both the wire and the core. The wire heats, but ONLY the length of it wound around the core, not the end leads away from the core, and the core does NOT heat.
