Answer to Problem 19Q
Due to the higher current flow in transformer, it will burn out.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
When 120 Volts DC supply is applied to transformer, there is zero induced back emf that would generally occur with 120 Volts AC.
120 Volts DC encounters much less resistance as compared to the 120 Volts AC. It would cause over current to flow through transformer. Also, this large amount of the current would overheat or burn the coils, which are typically wound with numerous loops of very fine wire. This could melt the insulation and also, burn out the transformer.
Conclusion: When a transformer offers an alternating current in the place of direct current, connecting with
