The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the current in the secondary coil of a power transformer. We are given the following information: - Primary voltage (Vp) = 220 V - Secondary voltage (Vs) = 4.4 kV = 4400 V - Power transmitted (Ps) = 4.4 kW = 4400 W - Number of turns in the primary coil (Np) = 1000 turns ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Transformer Relations:** The transformer operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, and the relationship between the primary and secondary voltages and turns is given by: \[ \frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{N_p}{N_s} \] where \(N_s\) is the number of turns in the secondary coil. 2. **Calculate the Secondary Voltage:** We know the secondary voltage \(Vs\) is given as 4.4 kV, which is equal to 4400 V. 3. **Calculate the Power in the Secondary:** The power in the secondary coil is given as \(Ps = 4.4 kW = 4400 W\). 4. **Use the Power Formula:** The power in the secondary coil can also be expressed as: \[ P_s = V_s \cdot I_s \] where \(I_s\) is the current in the secondary coil. 5. **Rearranging the Power Formula:** To find the current in the secondary coil, rearrange the formula: \[ I_s = \frac{P_s}{V_s} \] 6. **Substituting the Values:** Now, substitute the known values into the equation: \[ I_s = \frac{4400 W}{4400 V} \] 7. **Calculate the Current:** \[ I_s = 1 A \] ### Final Answer: The current in the secondary coil is \(1 A\). ---
