Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.02 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given situation is shown in the figure For the given transformer, \(\begin{aligned} & V_p=230 \mathrm{~V} \\ & V_S=23 \mathrm{~V} \\ & R_S=115 \Omega \end{aligned}\) Currrent in secondary coil, \(I_S=\frac{V_S}{R_S}=\frac{23}{115}=0.2 \mathrm{~A}\) We know that, in a…
