transformer is connected to \( 220 \mathrm{~V} 1 \mathrm{AA} \).C. source, what is output current of the transformer?

  1. A \( \frac{1}{20} A \)
  2. B \( 20 \mathrm{~A} \)
  3. C \( 100 \mathrm{~A} \)
  4. D \( 2 \mathrm{~A} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \( 20 \mathrm{~A} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, number of turns on secondary, \(N_{s}=50 ;\) number of turns on primary, \(N_{P}=1000 ;\) source voltage \(=220 \mathrm{~V} ;\)
current \(=1 \mathrm{~A}\).
We know \(\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}=\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}}=\frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}\)
Therefore \(\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}=\frac{I_{p}}{I_{s}} \Rightarrow I_{s}=\frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}} I_{p}\)
Substituting the values, we get
\(I_{s}=\frac{1000}{50} \times 1=20 \mathrm{~A}\)
Thus, output current of transformer \(=20 \mathrm{~A}\)
