Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) : Transformers - Quiz(MCQ)
Which type of flux does transformer action need?
A)
Alternating electric flux
B)
Alternating magnetic flux
C)
Constant magnetic flux
D)
Increasing magnetic flux

Correct Answer : Option (B) :   Alternating magnetic flux


Explanation : The energy transfer in a transformer, is from one winding to another, entirely through magnetic medium it is known as transformer action. Therefore, transformer action requires an alternating or time varying magnetic flux in order to transfer power from primary side to secondary side. Since induced emf in the winding is due to flux linkage.
