The correct Answer is:
To find the current in the secondary of a step-up transformer, we can use the relationship between the primary and secondary voltages and currents. The formula we will use is: \[ \frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p} \] Where: - \( V_p \) = Primary voltage - \( V_s \) = Secondary voltage - \( I_p \) = Primary current - \( I_s \) = Secondary current Given: - \( V_p = 220 \, V \) - \( I_p = 5 \, A \) - \( V_s = 22000 \, V \) We need to find \( I_s \). ### Step 1: Substitute the known values into the formula \[ \frac{220}{22000} = \frac{I_s}{5} \] ### Step 2: Simplify the left side of the equation \[ \frac{220}{22000} = \frac{1}{100} \] ### Step 3: Set up the equation Now, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \frac{1}{100} = \frac{I_s}{5} \] ### Step 4: Cross-multiply to solve for \( I_s \) \[ I_s = 5 \times \frac{1}{100} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( I_s \) \[ I_s = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05 \, A \] Thus, the current in the secondary is \( 0.05 \, A \). ### Final Answer: The current in the secondary is \( 0.05 \, A \). ---
