Transformers - Technical MCQs

Q1:

A transformer is plugged into a 120 V rms source and has a primary current of 300 mA rms. The secondary is providing 18 V across a 10 omega.gif load. What is the efficiency of the transformer?

A 88%

B 90%

C 92%

D 95%

ANS:B - 90%

Input power = 120*3*0.001 = 36.
Output current = v/r = 18/10 = 1.8.

Output power = 18*1.8 = 32.4.

n% = O/P power / I/P power = (32.4/36)*100.
= 0.90*100.
= 90%.
