c) Remain constant
d) Increases as square of the frequency

3. If the dc voltage is applied instead of ac voltage to the primary side of a transformer:

c) both primary and secondary winding
d) None of the above

5. The emf induced in the primary
a) is in phase with the flux
b) lags behind the flux by 90
c) leads the flux by 90
d) it is in phase opposition to that of the flux
