You did note the mention of a switch didn't you. Each time the switch is closed a surge will rush through the primary coil creating a rising magnetic field which will be inductively coupled to the secondary until the flow overcomes the reactance of the inductor (primary coil in this case). And a second pulse will occur as the magnetic field collapses when the switch is opened. This is a common way to investigate inductors, coils, transformers; a sort of slow, hand controlled, half wave, AC.
