AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Physics Transformers MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
A 220 V/440 V step-up transformer. The output circuit draws a current of 2.0 ampere at 440 volts. If the efficiency of the transformer is 80%, the current drawn by the primary windings of the transformer is
A
5.0 ampere
B
3.6 ampere
C
2.8 ampere
D
2.5 ampere
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The primary current I₁ is calculated using the formula I₁ = (E₂ * I₂) / (η * E₁). Substituting the given values: I₁ = (440 * 2) / (0.8 * 220) = 5 Å.
