    A step-up transformer operates on a 230 V line and supplies current of 2 A to a load. The ratio of the primary and secondary windings is 1 :  25. The current in the primary coil is:                                                           [AIPMT 1998]

    A)  15 A 

    B)                   50 A   

    C)              25 A     

    D)                   12.5 A

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

               
    Key Idea: The flux per turn of primary coil must be equal to flux per turn of the secondary coil.
                As per key idea, \[\frac{{{\phi }_{p}}}{{{n}_{p}}}=\frac{{{\phi }_{s}}}{{{n}_{s}}}\]
    or         \[\frac{1}{{{n}_{p}}}.\frac{d{{\phi }_{p}}}{dt}=\frac{1}{{{n}_{s}}}\frac{d{{\phi }_{s}}}{dt}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{{{e}_{s}}}{{{e}_{p}}}=\frac{{{n}_{s}}}{{{n}_{p}}}\]             \[\left( as\,\,\,e\propto \,\frac{d\phi }{dt} \right)\]
                For no loss of power,
                            \[ei=\] constant
    \[\therefore \]      \[i=\frac{1}{e}\times \text{constant}\]
    or         \[\frac{{{i}_{p}}}{{{i}_{s}}}=\frac{{{e}_{s}}}{{{e}_{p}}}\]
    or         \[\frac{{{i}_{p}}}{{{i}_{s}}}=\frac{{{n}_{s}}}{{{n}_{p}}}\]
    Here,     \[\frac{{{n}_{p}}}{{{n}_{s}}}=\frac{1}{25},\,{{i}_{s}}=2A\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{{{i}_{p}}}{2}=\frac{25}{1}\]
    or         \[{{i}_{p}}=25\times 2=50\,A\]
                Note:    In step-up transformer\[{{n}_{s}}>{{n}_{p}}\]. It increases voltage and reduces current.
    In step-down transformer, \[{{n}_{p}}>{{n}_{s}}\]. It increases current and reduces voltage.
