JEE Main2018PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a step-down transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns giving the output power at 230 V . If the current in the primary coil of the transformer is 5 A and its efficiency is 90 % , the output current would be:
Options
- A45   A
- B50   A
- C20   A
- D25   A
Correct answer
A. 45   A
Step-by-step solution
Efficiency, η = 0.9 = P s P p V s I s = 0.9   ×   V p I p I s = 0.9   × 2300   × 5 230 = 45   A
