JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 -6. Electromagnetic induction

A transformer has an efficiency of \(80 \%\) and works at \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(4 \mathrm{~kW}\). If the secondary voltage is \(240 \mathrm{~V}\), then the current in the secondary coil is _______.

  1. A  \(1.59 \mathrm{~A}\)
  2. B \(13.33 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(1.33 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(15.1 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(13.33 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { Efficiency }=\frac{E_{\mathrm{S}} I_{\mathrm{S}}}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{P}} \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{P}}}\) \(0.8=\frac{240 \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{S}}}{4000}\) \(\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{S}}=\frac{3200}{240}=13.33 \mathrm{~A}\)
