The core of a transformer is laminated to reduce energy losses due to
1. Eddy currents
2. Hysteresis
3. Resistance in winding
4. None of these
A step-down transformer is connected to 2400 volts line and 80 amperes of current is found to flow in output load. The ratio of the turns in primary and secondary coil is 20 : 1. If transformer efficiency is 100%, then the current flowing in primary coil will be
1. 1600 A
2. 20 A
3. 4 A
4. 1.5 A
A loss free transformer has 500 turns on its primary winding and 2500 in secondary. The meters of the secondary indicate 200 volts at 8 amperes under these conditions. The voltage and current in the primary is
1. 100 V, 16 A
2. 40 V, 40 A
3. 160 V, 10 A
4. 80 V, 20 A
A transformer connected to 220 Volt line shows an output of 2 A at 11000 Volt. The efficiency is 100%. The current drawn from the line is:
1. 100 A
2. 200 A
3. 22 A
4. 11 A
A power transformer is used to step up an alternating e.m.f. of 220 V to 11 kV to transmit 4.4 kW of power. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, what is the current rating of the secondary ? Assume 100% efficiency for the transformer
1. 4 A
2. 0.4 A
3. 0.04 A
4. 0.2 A
