Q.

A step up transformer is connected to an AC mains supply of 220 V to operate at 11000 V, 88 watt. The current in the secondary circuit, ignoring the power loss in the transformer is             [2024]

1 8 mA  
2 4 mA  
3 0.4 A  
4 4 A  

Ans.

(1)

Given, VP=220 V;  VS=11000 V;  PS=88 W

We know, PS=VSIS

88=11000×IS  or  8811000=IS

  IS=8×10-3A=8 mA
