12th Class Physics Alternating Current / प्रत्यावर्ती धारा Question Bank MCQs - Alternating Current

  • question_answer
    The output of a step-down transformer is measured to be 24 V when connected to a 12 W Light bulb. The value of the peak current is

    A) 1/\[\sqrt{2}\]A

    B) \[\sqrt{2}\] A

    C) 2 A

    D) 2\[\sqrt{2}\]A

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Option [a] is correct
    Explanation: Given, Power associated with secondary, \[{{P}_{s}}\] = 12 W
    Secondary voltage, \[{{V}_{s}}\] = 24 V
    Current in the secondary, \[{{I}_{s}}=\frac{{{P}_{s}}}{{{V}_{s}}}=\frac{12}{24}=0.5\]A
    Peak value of the current in the secondary, \[{{I}_{0}}={{I}_{s}}\sqrt{2}=(0.5)(1.414)=0.707\ or\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}A\].
