A transformer can do all of the following electrical functions except:

  1. A
    step-up a/c voltage
  2. B
    step-up a/c current
  3. C
    step-up a/c power
  4. D
    step-down a/c voltage

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

A transformer works on the principle of mutual induction to change alternating voltage and alternating current levels. According to the law of conservation of energy, an ideal transformer maintains constant power (P=V×I). Therefore, it can step up or step down voltage and current inversely, but it cannot step-up or increase total electrical power.
