Why can't a transformer be used to change the value of DC voltage? 

A transformer relies on the principle of electromagnetic induction, which works with changing magnetic fields. Since direct current (DC) has a constant magnitude and does not change direction, it does not create the varying magnetic field necessary for induction in a transformer. Therefore, transformers are not suitable for altering the value of DC voltage.
