    The coils of a step down transformer have 500 and 5000 turns. In the primary coil an ac of 4 ampere at 2200 volts is sent. The value of the current and potential difference in the secondary coil will be                                         [MP PET 1996]

    A)            20 A, 220 V                            

    B)            0.4 A, 22000 V

    C)            40 A, 220 V                            

    D)            40 A, 22000 V

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{{{N}_{p}}}{{{N}_{s}}}=\frac{{{V}_{p}}}{{{V}_{s}}}=\frac{{{i}_{s}}}{{{i}_{p}}}\]. The transformer is step-down type, so primary coil will have more turns. Hence            \[\frac{5000}{500}=\frac{2200}{{{V}_{s}}}=\frac{{{i}_{s}}}{4}\Rightarrow {{V}_{s}}=220\ V,\ {{i}_{s}}=40\ amp\]
