First understand that every electrical conductor (wire) with current flow through it will produce an invisible magnetic field around it. This field is directly proportional to the magnitude of current flowing. Second (and inversely) realize that any conductor moving through a magnetic field will produce a voltage, And if provided with a complete circuit (a path to flow in) will result in current flow in that conductor. The movement can be from the conductor moving, or from the magnetic field moving, as long as there is 'relative motion' between the conductor and the magnetic field. In short, a conductor with current flow produces a magnetic field , a conductor and a magnetic field with relative motion between them produces current flow. (This is also the basis for how a motor works) AC means 'Alternating Current'! The current flow moves in one direction along a conductor, then reverses to zero and to equal magnitude in the opposite direction. Each time this current changes direction it produces a magnetic field, as it returns to zero the field collapses. As the current builds in the opposite direction the magnetic field builds again. In an AC transformer circuit, two conductors are placed in close proximity to each other and an alternating current is applied to the first conductor. This alternating current causes a magnetic field to build around the conductor, then collapse, build again in the opposite polarity and so on. This expanding and collapsing magnetic field creates relative motion between the field and the second conductor which then produces current flow of its own. This is called "transformer Action". In steady state DC circuits, the magnetic field is constant and there is normally no relative motion, therefore no "transformer action". There is however still a relative motion created when the circuit is first energized, and when it is de-energized. This collapsing field is how the ignition coil in your car works. In the simplest form, contacts (points) were opened by a cam, the open contacts de-energized the first conductor (the 12VDC primary). The resulting collapsing field cut across the secondary conductors. Because these conductors were wound into many turns or "coils" it actually multiplies the effect producing a high voltage in the secondary (connected to the ignition wires). This produced a voltage and current strong enough to jump across the gap of a spark plug. And, Yes Virginia, there is such a thing as a DC transformer.
If you take a power source like a dc battery or AC transformer secondary winding and connect an ammeter directly across these power sources you can read the short circuit current available from that source. This gives a measure of internal resistance of the battery or the available wattage of the transformer.
In a series circuit, the current has only one path to take.
Contact arching is the action of an electricity flow that uses surround air as a conduit to sustain its charge. This action take place after a spark breaks away from an electric current.
No, why because know, In an empty bulb holder the circuit is not completed and there for the flow of electrons will not take place obviously the current passage won't be there.
You take the wire(s) that are in the circuit and place it on on a compass. Hold the compass still and the needle in the compass will move. However far that the needle is turned will detrmine how much resistance is in the circuit. (You know you have done this correctly if the needle in the compass spins counter clockwise.) Hope this helps you out :)
Not clear what your question is. First of all, circuits are not classified as DC and AC. Circuits are what they are, and you can apply either AC or DC to any circuit. However, considering a circuit that was designed only for use with DC applied. Still your question is unclear. What is transformer action? "Transformer Action" happens in a transformer.
don't overload it, have a look on the transformer their should be an input voltage and an output voltage if take fails just try and see if u can overload it when you do try and figure out the voltage and get a new transformer;)!!!!!

The action in the story took place in the 19th century during the Industrial Revolution.
One transformer should feed several led's in parallel, but you have to work out how much current each one will take, total it up, and then get a transformer with the correct output voltage and that can supply the total current. Don't exceed the transformer max current or it may fail through overheating

You cannot use an ordinary multimeter to assess the difference between a normal power transformer winding and a shorted power transformer winding. You need a Q meter and/or to power it up at a reduced voltage with limited current to see what happens. Note that a shorted power transformer is capable of exploding, so you need to take appropriate safety precautions.
