Because the current is alternating, the magnetic field of the iron core keeps doing what?

• Correct Answer: reversing
• decreasing
• increasing
• changing

Explanation: The transformer in the diagram consists of two wire coils wrapped around an iron core. Each coil is part of a different circuit. When alternating current passes through coil P, it magnetizes the iron core. Because the current is alternating, the magnetic field of the iron core keeps reversing. This is where electromagnetic induction comes in. The changing magnetic field induces alternating current in coil S of the other circuit.
