Explain why the alternating current in the primary coil of a transformer is not in phase with the alternating e.m.f. induced in the secondary coil.
Because the current in the primary coil is in phase with the flux in the core
But not the change in the flux, (change in the flux is not in phase with the flux in the core) ,and it is the change in flux that generates the alternating emf hence we say Alternating Current is not in phase with the Alternating emf
