    A transformer is used to light 100 W-110 V lamp from 220 V mains. If the main current is 0.5 A, the efficiency of the transformer is

    A)  \[95%\]            

    B)  \[99%\]

    C)  \[90%\]            

    D)  \[96%\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    : The efficiency of the transformer is \[\eta =\frac{Output\,power({{P}_{out}})}{Input\,power\,({{P}_{m}})}\times 100\] Here, \[{{P}_{out}}=100W\] \[{{P}_{m}}=(220V)(0.5A)=110W\] \[\therefore \] \[\eta =\frac{100W}{110W}\times 100\approx 90%\]
