    A transformer has an efficiency of 80%. It is connected to a power input of 5 kW at 200 V. If the secondary voltage is 250 V, the primary and secondary currents are respectively

    A)  25 A, 20 A                          

    B)  20 A, 16 A          

    C)         25 A, 16 A          

    D)         40 A, 25 A

    E)  40 A, 16 A

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[Efficiency=\frac{output\text{ }power}{input\text{ }power}\] Input power\[=5000\text{ }W,\] Input voltage\[=200\text{ }V\] \[\therefore \] Primary current, \[{{I}_{p}}=\frac{5000}{200}=25\,A\] Output power\[=5000\times \frac{80}{100}=4000W\] Output voltage\[=250\text{ }V\] Secondary current, \[{{I}_{s}}=\frac{4000}{250}=16\,A\]
