Transformer with DC Supply

Assertion (A): If we use a battery across the primary of a step up transformer, no voltage is obtained across secondary.
Reason (R): Battery gives a steady current.
 
Both (A) & (R) are true and the (R) is the correct explanation of the (A)
Both (A) & (R) are true but the (R) is not the correct explanation of the (A)
(A) is true but (R) is false
Both (A) and (R) are false

Solution:

Assertion (A) is true. Transformers require a changing magnetic flux to induce voltage. Reason (R) is true; a battery provides DC current. This steady current causes constant flux, hence no induced emf in the secondary. (R) correctly explains (A).
