    A step-down transformer reduces the voltage of a transmission line from 2200 V to 220 V. The power delivered by it is 880 W and its efficiency is 88%. The input current is

    A)  4.65 A                                  

    B)  0.045 A

    C)  0.45 A                                  

    D)  4.65 A

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Efficiency of transformer,                                                 \[\eta =\frac{Output\text{ }power}{Input\text{ }power}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{88}{100}=\frac{880}{{{P}_{i}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{P}_{i}}=1000\,\,W\] Input current,    \[{{I}_{P}}=\frac{{{P}_{i}}}{{{V}_{i}}}\]                 \[=\frac{1000}{2200}\]                 = 0.45A
