Transformers depend on fluctuating magnetic fields in order to operate. The operating principle of an inductor, of which a transformer is an example, is to resist a change in current by back EMF which bucks the change (up or down) in current. If you place DC across an inductor, the current would linearly increase until the resistive limit is reached, the power supply's capacity is reached, and/or the inductor self destructs from overcurrent.
