AC Generator & Transformer

A step down transformer connected to an ac mains supply of 220 V is made to operate at 11 V, 44W lamp. Ignoring power losses in the transformer, what is the current in the primary circuit?

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. No losses: VpIp=Plamp=44 WV_pI_p = P_{lamp} = 44\text{ W}.
  2. Ip=44220=0.2 AI_p = \dfrac{44}{220} = 0.2\text{ A}
  3. So the answer is (b) 0.2 A.
