Why Transformer Works on AC Supply only ?

Electro magnetic induction

What happens when a transformer is connected to a DC supply ? The flux produced by DC supply does not vary but remains constant in magnitude As flux remains constant no e.m.f is induced in the primary and secondary
12
9EE402.3

 As there is no self induced e.m.f in the primary winding to oppose the applied voltage A heavy current will flow through the primary winding

And this large current will result in the damage of the winding
