Transformer / How Transformer works
How Transformer works
When AC current is supplied to the primary coil, there will be magnetic fields form in the soft iron core.
Since current is alternating, the magnetic fields also alternates
When magnetic field alternates, it will cut the secondary coil, inducing current or emf in the secondary coil
Can Transformer works in DC current
No
Because, if DC current is supplied to the primary coil, there will be magnetic field forms in the Soft Iron Core,
But..... this magnetic field will not alternate
so will not cut the secondary coil therefore no induced emf
