A transformer works on the principle of:
ASelf-induction only
BMutual induction
CHall effect
DBrewster's law
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Mutual induction
1. A changing primary current creates a changing flux through a shared iron core.
2. The shared flux induces an EMF in the secondary coil — MUTUAL induction.
3. Voltage ratio = turns ratio: V_s / V_p = N_s / N_p.
