NEET Physics Transformers MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12

A transformer is used to light 140 W, 24 V lamp from 240 V ac mains. If the main current is 0.7 Å, the efficiency of the transformer is

A

63.8%

B

74%

C

83.3%

D

48%

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Efficiency η=PoutPin×100\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}} \times 100. Pout=140P_{out} = 140 W, Pin=240×0.7=168P_{in} = 240 \times 0.7 = 168 W. η=140168×100=83.3%\eta = \frac{140}{168} \times 100 = 83.3\%.
