KCET · Physics · Alternating Current

A step-down transformer reduces the voltage of a transmission line from \(2200 \mathrm{~V}\) to \(220 \mathrm{~V}\). The power delivered by it is \(880 \mathrm{~W}\) and its efficiency is \(88 \%\). The input current is

  1. A \(4.65 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(0.045 \mathrm{~A}\)
  3. C \(0.45 \mathrm{~A}\)
  4. D \(4.65 \mathrm{~A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.45 \mathrm{~A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Efficiency of transformer,
\(eta \eta =\frac{\text { Output po }}{\text { Input powe }} \)
\( \Rightarrow \frac{88}{100} =\frac{880}{P_{i}} \)
\( \Rightarrow P_{i} =1000 \mathrm{~W} \)
\( \text { Input current, } I_{P} =\frac{P_{i}}{V_{i}} \)
\( =\frac{1000}{2200} \)
\( =0.45 \mathrm{~A}\)
