A transformer is used to light a \(100~\text{W}\) and \(110~\text{V}\) lamp from a \(220~\text{V}\) main. If the main current is \(0.5~\text{A}\), the efficiency of the transformer is approximately:
1. \(30\%\)
2. \(50\%\)
3. \(90\%\)
4. \(10\%\)
1. | \(800~\Omega\) and \(1.06~\Omega\) | 2. | \(10~\Omega\) and \(500~\Omega\) |
3. | \(800~\Omega\) and \(0.32~\Omega\) | 4. | \(1.06~\Omega\) and \(500~\Omega\) |
1. | \(12~\text{A}\) | 2. | \(24~\text{A}\) |
3. | \(48~\text{A}\) | 4. | \(144~\text{A}\) |
A power transmission line feeds input power at \(2300\) V to a step-down transformer with its primary windings having \(4000\) turns. What should be the number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at \(230\) V?
1. \(200\)
2. \(250\)
3. \(350\)
4. \(400\)
