    A 220 V input is supplied to a transformer. The output circuit draws a current of 2.0 A at 440 V. If the efficiency of the transformer is 80%, the current drawn by the primary windings of the transformer is

    A) 3.6 A

    B)                                        2.8 A     

    C)        2.5 A                     

    D)        5.0 A

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Efficiency is defined as the ratio of output power and input power ie,     \[\eta %=\frac{{{P}_{out}}}{{{P}_{in}}}\times 100=\frac{{{V}_{s}}{{i}_{s}}}{{{V}_{p}}{{i}_{p}}}\times 100\]                 \[80=\frac{2\times 440}{220\times {{i}_{p}}}\times 100\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{i}_{p}}=5A\]
