COMEDK · Physics · 23. Alternating Current

Transformer works on \(220 \mathrm{~V}\) and its efficiency is \(80 \%\). If output power is \(8 \mathrm{~kW}\), primary current is approximately

  1. A \(35 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(18 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(22 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(45 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(45 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(V_{p}=220 \mathrm{~V}, \eta=80 \%=0.8\) \(P_{0}=8 \mathrm{~kW}=8000 \mathrm{~W}\) Efficiency of transformer, \(\eta=\frac{\text { Output power }}{\text { Input power }}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \eta=\frac{P_{o}}{P_{i}} \Rightarrow 0.8=\frac{8000}{p_{i}}\)…
