    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 mA         

    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, \[{{I}_{p}}=\frac{{{P}_{i}}}{{{V}_{i}}}\] \[=\frac{1000}{2200}\] \[=0.45\text{ }A\]
