(ii) -When an alternating current flows in the primary coil, a changing magnetic field is produced. - The changing magnetic field is linked to the secondary coil through the laminated iron core. - As a result, a secondary coil is in a changing magnetic field, this procedures an induced e.m.f at the two ends of secondary coil.
