A transformer has 4000 turns in primary and 100 turns in secondary coils. The primary coil in connected to a 240 V and secondary to a bulb of 1.2 Ω resistance. The current in the bulb is: |
0.50 A 0.25 A 0.20 A 5.00 A |
5.00 A |
The correct answer is Option (4) → 5.00 A The voltage and current relationship in a transformer and related by following equations - $\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}$ ...(1) where, $V_p$ → Primary voltage $V_s$ → Secondary voltage $N_p$ → Number of turns in Primary coil $N_s$ → Number of turns in Secondary coil $V_p=240 V$ $N_p=4000$ [given] $N_s=100$ ∴, from eqn. (1) $V_s=\frac{V_p\,N_s}{N_p}=\frac{240×100}{4000}=6V$ Now, R, resistance of bulb through which secondary coil is connected = 1.2Ω $∴I_s=\frac{V_s}{R}$ [By Ohm's law] $I_s=\frac{6}{1.2}=5A$ |
