No, unless you have a pulsating DC

How does auto transformer work with DC supply?
Transformers don't work with DC supplies - they only work on AC.
Why do transformers work only work on an AC supply?
Transformers only work on ac supply because it principle is mutual induction. DC supply has constant magnitude whereas AC has alternating magnitude. so we can step up or step down current/voltage in transformer in ac only.
Can you harness the 1 100th volts that comes from your tongue using transformers and a dc to ac converter?
No. Transformers only work with AC. Tongue-voltage is DC.
Why transformernot work in dc?
Transformers work by induction. A changing magnetic field is required.
How do rectifiers and transformers work in a PC power supply?
There is no transformer used in PC power supply. There is rectifier used to rectify or convert AC input voltage into DC output voltage.Transformer based rectifier produces some spikes at the output DC voltage, hencethey uses SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) to avoid spikes to the output DC voltage and get a smooth DC voltage.
Can booster transformer be used in dc distribution system?
No. Transformers work in AC systems, not in DC systems.
Can DC supply be used in transformer?
No. Transformers work on the principle of induction, induction needs a CHANGE in the flux to happen. A change in the flux can be produced by a changing current which is produced by an AC voltage supply. It is also not good to have DC added to an AC in transformers for some reasons I don't think you will be interested in. But never use DC with transformers because it will heat up and waste energy and no power would be transfered to the secondary side (some power would be produced for the first microseconds until the the voltage reaches it's peak). Dc flux cannot be used in a tranformer because the frequency is zero.
Can you harness the 1 100th of a volt that comes from your tongue using transformers?
No. Transformers only work with AC. Tongue-voltage is DC.
Is it appropriate to use dc supply in a transformer?
Not usually. Transformers require a varying magnetic field, which is induced by AC voltage.
Why alternating current is use for electrical system?
The transmission of electrical energy requires very high voltages (for a given load, the higher the supply voltage, the lower the load current). To increase/reduce these voltages, you need transformers. Transformers are AC machines; they do not work with DC.
Why dc source is used for dc supply?
it is only work on it so that used
DC current is not used in transformer?
No. Transformers rely on the magnetic field changing direction to work, so DC can't be used.
