A transformer which can produce 8V from a 240v a.c. supply, has an efficiency of 80%. If the current in the secondary coil is 15A, calculate the current in the primary coil.

  • A. 0.625A
  • B. 1.600A
  • C. 2.500A
  • D. 6.250A

Correct Answer: A. 0.625A

Explanation

Efficiency = \(\frac{I_sV_s}{I_pV_p}\) x 100
