Why does a transformer not work with a steady direct current in its primary coil?
Correct answer B. Steady current produces a constant flux, so no emf is induced in the secondary
Explanation
A transformer relies on mutual induction, which needs a changing flux. A steady current gives constant flux in the core, so ΔΦ/Δt = 0 and no secondary emf appears.
