Basis of transformer is change in current. Whenever current flows it causes magnetic field. Current flow in primary coil causes magnetic field around secondary. Since current is changing as in the case of AC, magnetic filed also changes. As per Faraday's law change in magnetic field causes induced voltage at secondary coil. In case of DC there wont be any change in current, thus no change in magnetic field leading to no induced voltage.
The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.
No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .
The dc is supplied via a centre-tap on the transformer. This ensures zero dc net flux in the transformer core, which enables a much smaller core to be used.
No. Transformers work in AC systems, not in DC systems.
Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.
The transformer needs AC at its input. The battery provides DC.
No. Transformers rely on the magnetic field changing direction to work, so DC can't be used.
Diodes are used after a center-tapped transformer in a DC to AC inverter to rectify the alternating current (AC) output of the transformer into pulsating direct current (DC). This rectified voltage is then smoothed using filters to produce a more stable DC waveform. The diodes act as one-way valves, allowing current to flow in only one direction, thus converting the AC voltage into a pulsating DC voltage.
transformer cannot be worked on DC because as the dc is constant there will be no change of flux & may lead to shot circuit.
Transformer
You can not change AC into DC using a transformer. A transformer changes the voltage levels. To change AC into DC, you would need a rectifier. To change that into smooth DC you need a capaciter and a voltage regulater
The answer below this is not correct, a transformer can only be used on AC not DC. So the statement, "A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease DC voltage" is false The above comment relates to an entry which was obviously deleted. However, the above comment is also false. The ignition coil in of a petrol engine is a transformer, a pulse transformer. It's d.c. which passes through the primary, not a.c. <<>> A: this is a passive component as opposed to a device that is active answer is yes it does that but more importantly it isolates and match in/out impedance's
