Alternating Current

  1. ​A 220 volts input is supplied to a transformer. The output circuit draws a current of  2.0 ampere at 440 volts. If the efficiency of the transformer is 80%, the current drawn by the primary windings of the transformer is​​
    1. ​3.6 ampere ​
    2. ​2.8 ampere ​
    3. 2.5 ampere
    4. 5.0 ampere
Correct Option: D

V2= 0.8 I1
V1I2

V2I2
= 0.8
V1I1

V1 = 220 V, I2 = 2.0 A, V2 = 440 V
I1 = V2I2× 10 = 440 × 2 × 10 = 5 A
V18220 × 8
