A step down transformer has turns ratio 20:1. If 8V are applied across 0.4 secondary then the primary current will be
Options
- A0.5 A
- B1 A
- C2 A
- D4 A
Correct answer
B. 1 A
Step-by-step solution
Given turns ratio N_p N_s = 20 Secondary voltage V_s = 8 V Secondary resistance R_s = 0.4 Secondary current I_s = V_s R_s = 8 0.4 = 20 A For an ideal transformer, I_p I_s = N_s N_p I_p = I_s N_s N_p = 20 1 20 = 1 A Answer: 1 A
