A step-up transformer in a microwave oven is connected to a 230 V ac mains supply. The transformer has an efficiency of 88% and delivers a current of 0.450 A at a secondary potential difference of 2.10 kV2.10\text{ kV}2.10 kV to the magnetron.
What is the current in the primary winding of the transformer under these operating conditions?
