A transformer changes 220 V to 1100 V. The secondary current is 2 A and the transformer operates with 80% efficiency. The primary current is:

Answer: 12.5 A.

  • A 10.0 A
  • B 11.0 A
  • C 14.0 A
  • D 12.5 A

Correct answer: D. 12.5 A

Explanation: Output power = 1100 × 2 = 2200 W. Input power = 2200/0.8 = 2750 W. Therefore primary current = 2750/220 = 12.5 A.

EMF is Induced Only While Flux is ChangingΦmagnet approachingmagnet stationary inside coilEMFEMF ≠ 0 (flux changing)EMF = 0 (flux constant)t

As a magnet approaches a coil, flux rises steadily and a constant non-zero EMF is induced (Faraday's law). Once the magnet stops moving, flux stays constant and the induced EMF drops to zero - EMF only exists while flux is actively changing.

Concept context

Faraday's and Lenz's laws, motional EMF, self/mutual inductance, eddy currents, and the AC generator - how a changing magnetic flux creates an electric current.
