A transformer's primary coil suddenly shorts to the secondary coil. Which consequence follows regarding energy transfer?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled energy transfer and potential destruction occur because the short circuit bypasses the inductive impedance, resulting in a surge of current due to minimal impedance; therefore, energy is dumped rapidly rather than controlled by inductive reactance.
