Solution
The working principle of the transformer is the mutual induction. The magnetic flux linked with the primary winding of the transformer must change, to produce an induced emf in the secondary coil.
Transformers cannot work on DC voltages. If a DC supply is given to the primary coil of a transformer, it produces a steady magnetic flux. So, no emf will be induced in the secondary coil.
