The mutual induction happens in?
Correct answer: D. Transformer
- A. AC generator
- B. DC generator
- C. Battery
- D. Transformer
Explanation
Option A: AC generator generates electrical power through the principles of electromagnetic induction, but it does not involve mutual induction. In a generator, a rotating coil or magnet generates an alternating current by inducing a voltage in the coil or wire. However, this is a self-induction effect, where the changing magnetic field in the coil induces a voltage in the same coil. Option B: DC generator generates electrical power through the principles of electromagnetic induction, but it does not involve mutual induction. In a generator, a rotating coil or magnet generates an alternating current by inducing a voltage in the coil or wire. However, this is a self-induction effect, where the changing magnetic field in the coil induces a voltage in the same coil. Option C: A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy and does not involve induction. Option D: Transformers work on the principle of mutual induction. Mutual Induction is a phenomenon in which changing current in one coil induces an e.m.f. in another coil.

About Electromagnetic Induction
Changing magnetic flux induces an emf according to Faraday's law, while Lenz's law gives the direction that opposes the change producing it. Transformers apply induction between coils to step alternating voltage up or down, with turns ratio, current transformation and energy losses determining practical operation.
