Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(45\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \(: V_{P}=2300\, \mathrm{V}, V_{s}=230\, \mathrm{V}, I_{P}=5\, \mathrm{A}\)

\(\eta=90 \%=0.9\)

Efficiency \(\eta=0.9=\frac{P_{s}}{P_{p}} \Rightarrow P_{s}=0.9 P_{p}\)

\(\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{s}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{s}}=0.9 \times \mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{P}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{P}} \quad(\because \mathrm{P}=\mathrm{VI})\)

\({I_s} = \frac{{0.9 \times 2300 \times 5}}{{230}} = 45{\mkern 1mu} {\text{A}}\)
