Question

A transformer is used to light a 100 W and 110 V lamp from a 220 V mains. If the current is 0 . 5 A , the efficiency of the transformer is, 86%, 91%, 96%, 98%

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

Given: Output power, P = 100 W The voltage across the primary coil, V p = 220 V Current in the primary coil, I p = 0 . 5 A The efficiency of a transformer, η = output power input power × 1 0 0 = P V p I p × 100 = 100 220 × 0.5 × 100 ≈ 91 %
