The input and output voltages of a transformer are 220 V and 44V respectively. Find the current in input circuit if the output current is 2 A.


A transformer lowers e.m.f. from 220 V to 15 V. If 400 W power is given in primary, calculate (i) the current in primary coil and (ii) the current in secondary coil.


State whether true or false. If false, correct the statement.

A transformer can step up direct current.


The loss of energy in the form of heat in the iron core of a transformer is ______.

Read the following paragraph and answer the question:


Long distance power transmissions

The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.

Which of the following statement is true?
