    A transformer is used to light a 100 W and 110 V lamp from a 220 V main supply. If the main current is 0.5 A, then the efficiency of the transformer is nearly

    A)  89%                      

    B)         100%

    C)  95%                      

    D)         85%

    E)  91%

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    Input power \[{{P}_{in}}=V{{i}_{in}}\] \[=220\times 0.5=110W\] Output power\[{{P}_{out}}=100\,W\] Efficiency \[\frac{{{P}_{out}}}{{{P}_{in}}}\,=\frac{100}{110}\] \[=90.9%=91%\]
