NEET2021PhysicsAlternating CurrentActual
A step down transformer connected to an ac mains supply of 220   V is made to operate at 11   V ,   44   W lamp. Ignoring power losses in the transformer, what is the current in the primary circuit?
Options
- A2   A
- B0 . 4   A
- C0 . 2   A
- D4   A
Correct answer
C. 0 . 2   A
Step-by-step solution
Power loss is zero. Hence, output Power is equal to input Power. So, Input Power, P 1 = 44   W ⇒ V 1 i 1 = P 1 ⇒ i 1 = P 1 V 1 = 44 220 = 0 . 2   A
