Q7 / 44 · NTA Abhyas (JEE Main) 2020 · Physics · Alternating Current

A transformer with efficiency 80% works at 4 kW and 100 V. If the secondary voltage is 200 V, then the primary and secondary currents are respectively

  • Correct answer
    A
    40 A and 16 A
  • B
    16 A and 40 A
  • C
    20 A and 90 A
  • D
    40 A and 20 A

Solution

Here, η=80%

Pi=4 kW=4000 W

Vp=100 V, Vs=200 V

Ip=PiVp=4000100=40 A

η=VsIsVpIp;80100=200Is4000=Is20

or Is=20×80100=16 A

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
