The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the current in the secondary of a step-up transformer, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the transformer relationship In a transformer, the relationship between the primary and secondary voltages and currents is given by the formula: \[ \frac{V_p}{V_s} = \frac{I_s}{I_p} \] where: - \( V_p \) = primary voltage - \( V_s \) = secondary voltage - \( I_p \) = primary current - \( I_s \) = secondary current ### Step 2: Identify the given values From the problem, we have: - \( V_p = 220 \, V \) - \( I_p = 5 \, A \) - \( V_s = 22000 \, V \) ### Step 3: Rearrange the formula to find the secondary current We need to find \( I_s \). Rearranging the transformer relationship gives us: \[ I_s = I_p \cdot \frac{V_p}{V_s} \] ### Step 4: Substitute the known values Now we can substitute the values into the formula: \[ I_s = 5 \, A \cdot \frac{220 \, V}{22000 \, V} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the secondary current Calculating the right-hand side: \[ I_s = 5 \cdot \frac{220}{22000} \] \[ I_s = 5 \cdot \frac{1}{100} = 5 \cdot 0.01 = 0.05 \, A \] ### Final Answer The current in the secondary is: \[ I_s = 0.05 \, A \]
