Solution

The statement that is not true about transformers is: "Transformers only operate if the input current stays the same."

Transformers actually work on the principle of changing current. They operate on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a change in the magnetic field within a coil of wire induces a voltage across the ends of the coil. If the input current stayed the same, there would be no change in the magnetic field and thus no operation of the transformer.
