An ideal transformer has a voltage ratio V<sub>p</sub>:V<sub>s</sub> = 10:1. A 44 &Omega; load is connected to the secondary. If the transformer efficiency is 90% and the primary voltage is 2200 V, the primary current is approximately:

Answer: 0.56 A.

  • A 0.25 A
  • B 2.00 A
  • C 1.00 A
  • D 0.56 A

Correct answer: D. 0.56 A

Explanation: Secondary voltage = 220 V, so secondary current = 220/44 = 5 A. Output power = 1100 W. Input power = 1100/0.9 = 1222 W. Primary current = 1222/2200 = 0.56 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.
