A transformer having efficiency of \(90 \%\) is working on \(200 \mathrm{~V}\) and \(3 \mathrm{~kW}\) power supply. If the current is the secondary coil is \(6 \mathrm{~A}\), the voltage across the secondary coil and the current in the primary coil respectively are

  1. A 450 V , 12 A
  2. B 600 V , 15 A
  3. C 300 V , 15 V
  4. D 450 V , 15 A
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) 450 V , 15 A

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Primary current, \(I_{\mathrm{P}}=\frac{P}{V}=\frac{3000}{200}=15 \mathrm{~A}\)
Output power \(=90 \%\) of \(3000 \mathrm{~W}=2700 \mathrm{~W}\)
Therefore, voltage across the secondary coil, \(V_{\mathrm{s}}=\frac{2700}{6}=450 \mathrm{~V}\)
