On which principle does the transformer work?
Correct answer: B. Mutual induction
- A. Self induction
- B. Mutual induction
- C. Motional EMF
- D. Magnetic torque
Explanation
Transformer works on the principal of mutual induction, according to which; "The phenomenon in which a changing current in one coil induces an emf in anofher coil is called the mutual inductance." Hence, option B is correct.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
