NEET 2021 Physics Transformers MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 12

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?

A

0.2 Å

B

0.4 Å

C

2 Å

D

4 Å

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The power in the secondary circuit is 44 W, so the current is 44/11 = 4 Å. Using the transformer equation VpIp = VsIs, we have 220 * Ip = 11 * 4, giving Ip = 0.2 Å.
