Question
Can a transformer be used with direct current source? Give reason.
Solution
No, a transformer cannot be used with direct current source. The reason is that with direct current source, there will not be any change in the magnetic flux linked with the primary coil, so no e.m.f. will be induced in the secondary coil.

A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
