On what principle does a transformer work?
AElectromagnetic wave emission
BMutual induction between two coils
CSelf induction of a single coil
DRectification by a diode
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mutual induction between two coils
Changing flux produced by the primary current links the secondary and induces an emf there, which is mutual induction.
