Can DC be used for transformer?

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.

Why transformer can not be used in dc supply?

The transformer cannot be used in the DC supply because it keeps on alternating its current, whereas the DC supply current should be constant.


Can you use transformer for DC supply?

No. Only Transformer could not be used for DC supply.If yoy need to have DC out put,then rectifier unit required .


How dc supply is given to transformer used in push pull amplifiers?

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.


Can booster transformer be used in dc distribution system?

No. Transformers work in AC systems, not in DC systems.


What device can be used to increase current in a DC circuit?

Transformer or instrument transformer. It can increase and decrease current output.


Why cant a 18V battery be used as the input of a transformer?

The transformer needs AC at its input. The battery provides DC.


DC current is not used in transformer?

No. Transformers rely on the magnetic field changing direction to work, so DC can't be used.


Why diodes are used after center tapped transformer in dc to ac inverter?

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.


How does a DC transformer work?

transformer cannot be worked on DC because as the dc is constant there will be no change of flux & may lead to shot circuit.


Who will not operate on DC?

Transformer


How do you make ac into DC in a ac 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


A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease dc voltage?

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
