उत्तर
A transformer is ideally an inductive coil. For an inductor connected across a DC voltage,
`V - L (di)/(dt) = 0`
`⇒ V = L(di)/(dt)`
⇒ \[\int\limits\] `di = V/L` \[\int\limits\] dt
`⇒ i = (Vt)/L`
For a DC source, the current across the inductor will increase with time and can reach a very large value, which can burn the transformer.
