Correct answer to question 1058
- C: Steady DC creates no changing magnetic flux to induce voltage
Explanation
Transformer action depends on a changing magnetic flux linking both windings. Steady DC produces a constant flux, so no voltage is induced in the secondary.

- 1064A voltage is induced in a conductor when it moves through a magnetic field and cuts the lines of flux. This principle is called:
