Confused about the core flux waveform  (and by extension the magnetising current waveform) of a current fed-fed push-pull dcDC-dcDC converter

enter image description here

I was going through the above converter and cannot understand how the flux in the transformer core changes  (and by extension the magnetizing current).

According to the text i'mI'm reading, there are three states for the current fed-fed push-pull topology.:

  • The first state is when SW1 is on and SW2 is off.
  • The second state is when SW1 is off and SW2 is on.
  • The third state is when both the switches are on.

So, just to have a place to start, let's assume I turn on SW1 first. Some current must be drawn by the transformer to establish the flux in the core and a constant positive voltage has to appear across P1 due to this flux increasing.

Here comes the part I do not understandknow how to approach. Now, as the flux in the core keeps increasing, I turn on SW2. The book  (which did not even consider the flux aspect of the transformer) says that in this state, no voltage is induced across the winding, which must imply that the flux in the core stays the same as it was just before I turned on SW2.

How can I explain why the flux in the core stays the same even after turning on SW2?

Please excuse me if this question sounds silly. I'm new to these topologies.
