Question 6

A transformer has an efficiency of 75%. It has 4000 turns on its primary coil and 100 turns on its secondary coil. When the primary of the transformer is connected to a 240 V ac supply, the secondary current is 12.0 A. What are the primary current and secondary voltage?

A

Primary current = 400 mA400\text{ mA}400 mA, Secondary voltage = 6.0 V6.0\text{ V}6.0 V

B

Primary current = 225 mA225\text{ mA}225 mA, Secondary voltage = 6.0 V6.0\text{ V}6.0 V

C
