A. Transform alternating current voltage alternating
The primary function of a transformer is to:
A. Transform alternating current voltage (AC)
While transformers can’t directly convert AC to DC (option B) or vice versa (option C), they can definitely change the voltage level of an AC current. They can either increase the voltage (step-up transformer) or decrease the voltage (step-down transformer). This is crucial for efficient transmission and distribution of electrical power.
Option D (convert mechanical energy) is not the main function of a transformer. While transformers have coils with magnetic fields that can interact with some mechanical devices, their core purpose is to manipulate AC voltage.
