Question 8

Which statement correctly describes the operation of a simple transformer?

A

A direct current in the primary coil creates a continuously changing magnetic field in the iron core.

B

The iron core conducts the electrical current directly from the primary coil to the secondary coil.

C

An alternating current in the primary coil creates a changing magnetic field in the core, which induces an alternating voltage across the secondary coil.

D

A steady magnetic field in the iron core induces an alternating voltage across the secondary coil.
