Question
On which type of current do transformers work?
Advertisements
Solution 1
The transformer works on alternating current or A.C. current.
Solution 2
No, they aren't suitable for use with direct current because, in the absence of a change in the magnetic field lines connected to the coils, no induced current can flow in the other coil.
