A transformer is used to light a 100 W and 110 V lamp from a 220 V mains. If the main current is 0.5 amp, the efficiency of the transformer is approximately
- 50%
- 90%
- 10%
- 30%
Answer
(2) 90%
Solution
Output power Pout = 100 W
Input power Pin = Vp Ip = 220 0.5 = 110 W
Efficiency = Pout Pin 100 = 100110 100
90.9\% 90\%
Answer: (2)
