Question

The primary side of a transformer is connected to 230 V , 50 Hz supply. The turn ratio of primary to secondary winding is 10 : 1 . Load resistance connected to the secondary side is 46Ω . The power consumed in it is:

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The voltages associated with the primary and the secondary side of the transformer are related to the turn ratio as follows:

$\frac{V _{1}}{V _{2}} = \frac{N _{1}}{N _{2}} ... (1)$ From equation (1), it follows that

$\frac{230}{V _{2}} = \frac{10}{1}$

$V_{2} = 23 V$

Hence, the power consumed can be calculated as follows

$P = \frac{V _{2}^{2}}{R} = \frac{23 \times 23}{46} = 11.5 W$
