Solution
(i) P(Power) = 200W = VI = Ep × Ip
∴ P = 200 = 200 × Ip
∴ Current in the primary coil = `200/220`
Ip = 0.909 A
(ii)
Transformation ratio `"E"_"s"/"E"_"p" = "N"_"s"/"N"_"p" = 800/80 = 10`
(iii) It is a step up transformer.
(iv) Using `"E"_"s"/"E"_"p" = "N"_"s"/"N"_"p" = 10`
` therefore "E"_"s"/200 = 10`
∴ Es = 2200 V
(v) Using Ep × Ip = 2200 × Is
∴ 200 = 2200 × Is
∴ Is = `2/22 = 0.090` A
(vi) Outpput power = Es × Is = `(2200 xx 0.0909)/100 = 200`W
(vii) Yes, It is equal, because it is an ideal transformer, for an ideal transformer
Efficiency = η = `"Outout power"/"Input power" = 1 "or" 100%`
i.e., there is no energy loss due to any cause.
(viii) Is = 0.0909 A and Ip = 0.909 A
Less current flows through the secondary coil than in the primary coil because it is a step-up transformer.

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.

A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
