A transformer has an efficiency of 80%. It works at 3 kW and 120 V. If the secondary voltage is 240 V, what will be the secondary current? |
2.5 A 12.5 A 25 A 10 A |
10 A |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 10 A Efficiency is given as, efficiency = $\frac{Output\,power}{Input\,power}×100$ $⇒0.80=\frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}$ $⇒P_{out}=0.80×300=2400W$ $∴P_{out}=v_2×I_2$ $2400=240×I_2$ $⇒I_2=10A$ |
