AC Generator & Transformer

A current of 4 A is flowing at 230 V in the primary coil of a transformer. If the voltage produced in the secondary coil is 2300 V and 40 % of power is lost, then the current in the secondary will be

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Pin=230×4=920 WP_{in} = 230 \times 4 = 920\text{ W}
  2. 40% lost: Pout=0.6×920=552 WP_{out} = 0.6 \times 920 = 552\text{ W}
  3. Is=5522300=0.24 AI_s = \dfrac{552}{2300} = 0.24\text{ A}
  4. So the answer is (a) 0.24 A.
