COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

The current drawn by the primary coil of an ideal transformer, which steps up \(22 \mathrm{~V}\) into \(220 \mathrm{~V}\), to operate a device having a load resistance \(110 \Omega\) is:

  1. A 20 A
  2. B 1 A
  3. C 10 A
  4. D 2 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 20 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an ideal transformer, the power input equals the power output. Let \(V_p\) and \(I_p\) be the primary voltage and current, and \(V_s\) and \(I_s\) be the secondary voltage and current. Given \(V_p = 22 \text{ V}\) and \(V_s = 220 \text{ V}\). The load resistance is…
