A step-up transformer operates on \(220 \mathrm{~V}\) and supplies current of \(2 \mathrm{~A}\). The ratio of primary and secondary windings is \(1: 20\). The current in the primary is

  1. A \(5 A\)
  2. B \(2 A\)
  3. C \(40 A\)
  4. D \(20 A\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(40 A\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \frac{N_{\mathrm{s}}}{N_p}=20=\frac{I_p}{I_s} \\ & \therefore I_p=20 I_S \\ & =20 \times 2=40 \mathrm{~A}\end{aligned}\)
