A transformer on no-load is switched on to a source of voltage. It will draw a current, which is

1. the same as the steady-state magnetizing current.
2. several times the steady-state magnetizing current depending upon the initial state of the residual flux in the transformer core.
3. several times the steady-state magnetizing current independent of the initial state of the residual flux in the transformer core.
4. twice the steady-state magnetizing current provided the core has no residual flux.

Correct Option: B
