CBSEENPH12039990

A 220 V input is supplied to a transformer. The output circuit draws a current 2.0 A at 440 V. If the efficiency of the transformer is 80%, the current drawn by the primary windings of the transformer is 

  • 3.6 A

  • 2.8 A

  • 2.5 A

  • 5.0 A

Solution

D.

5.0 A

Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output power and input power
i.e. straight eta percent sign space equals space straight P subscript out over straight P subscript in space straight x space 100 space equals space fraction numerator straight V subscript straight s straight i subscript straight s over denominator straight V subscript straight p straight i subscript straight p end fraction space straight x space 100

80 space equals space fraction numerator 2 space straight x space 440 over denominator 220 space straight x space straight i subscript straight p end fraction space straight x space 100

rightwards double arrow space straight i subscript straight p space equals space 5 space straight A
