An ideal step-down transformer is connected to the main supply of 240 V. It is desired to operate a 12 V, 30 W lamp. Find the current in the primary and the transformation ratio? (Ans: 0.125 A, 1/20).
Data Given:
Voltage of the Primary = VPVP = 240 V
Voltage of the secondary = VSVS = 12 V
Power of secondary = PSPS = 30 W
To Find:
Current in primary= IPIP = 30 W
Solution:
For an ideal transformer, we know that
Power Input = Power Out
As P = VII So,
VPVP IPIP = VsVs IsIs
or
IPIP = VsIsVPVsIsVP ------(1)
but the value of IsIs is also unknown so, we have for the secondary coil
PSPS = VSVS ISIS
Or
IsIs = PSVSPSVS
Thus equation (1) after putting the relation of IsIs
IPIP = Vs(PSVs)VP
IP = PSVP
Now putting all the corresponding values in equation (1)
IP = 30W240V
IP = 0.125 A ----------------Ans. 1
----------------------------------------------
Now for the transformation ratio, we know that
NSNP = VSVP
By putting values
NSNP = 12V240V
NSNP = 120 ------------Ans. 2
