The transformer — practice question

A transformer working at an efficiency of $100\%$ has a primary voltage input of $600\,\text{V}$ and a secondary voltage output of $240\,\text{V}$. A resistor with resistance $120\,\Omega$ is connected to the secondary coil. What is the power dissipated in the resistor and what is the current in the primary coil?

  • Apower $=120\,\text{W}$, current $=0.20\,\text{A}$
  • Bpower $=120\,\text{W}$, current $=5.0\,\text{A}$
  • Cpower $=480\,\text{W}$, current $=0.80\,\text{A}$
  • Dpower $=480\,\text{W}$, current $=1.3\,\text{A}$
