Depends on what you mean by work. It still opposes changes in the current flow through it, that doesn't change. But as DC has no phase, it produces no phase shifts as it does in AC.

Why a transformer designed for a 120V AC input will often burn out if connected to a 120V DC source?

All transformers are designed to work on AC. They do not work on DC.If you connect an inductor to DC, the current will increase until the capacity of the source or the conductance (1/resistance) capacity of the inductor and conductors is reached. Often, this condition will overheat and destroy the inductor, or destroy the source. A transformer is not an exception, as it is a form of inductor.


Will an inductor work on DC?

An inductor cannot work in dc because the frequency is zero there by making the inductive reactance zero as a consequenceAnswerOf course an inductor can work in a d.c. circuit!


Why we use the inductor?

To answer these questions I will tell you which devices or equipments are inductive.These include:TransformersHair clipers,hair blowers,motorsYou hopefully know what those devices or equipments are used for,hence why we use inductors.


Does a Cpacitor allow ac to pass through it?

no capacitor does not allow ac component .if allow then inductor allow dc component .


Why inductor block ac and pass dc?

When your circuit starts up, your inductor creates an electrical current in the opposite direction. With dc, this effect vanished after the circuit is started. With ac, the current keeps starting and stopping so the inductor keeps creating a current in the opposite direction.


Is wattmeter is work on ac or dc?

this works with both.


Can you charge inductor with dc voltage or ac voltage?

Inductors are low pass devices, they conduct most easily at low frequencies. DC is the limiting case for low frequency AC: i.e. DC is the lowest possible AC frequency, zero Hz and thus conducts best through an inductor. Capacitors are high pass devices, they conduct most easily at high frequencies. Infinite frequency AC is the limiting case for high frequency AC. Infinity Hz would conduct best through a capacitor.


What instrument measures both ac and DC?

hot wire ammmeter or a moving iron ammeter will work for ac and dc.


Why do you still use both ac and DC?

Because some appliances work with ac current and some with dc current.


Transformer are used in circuits containing both dc and ac?

No transformers only work with AC.


Why inductor does not work in DC source?

It does work on d.c., but it really depends on what you want it to do!


How dc supply is applied to field coil in a brush less alternator?

Through a coupled inductor, similar to a transformer, but working on DC instead of AC.
