Question Details

If the primary side of a transformer is connected with 230 V, 50 Hz A.C supply and the ratio of number of turns of primary to the secondary winding is 10 : 1, load resistance at secondary coil is 46 Ω then power output of the secondary windings is

Options

A

11.5 watt

B

13 watt

C

16 watt

D

15.6 watt

Correct Answer :

11.5 watt

Solution :

The correct option is 11.5 watt.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

From the problem statement and the circuit schematic shown in the image, we can identify the following parameters:
- Primary voltage (V1) = 230 V
- Primary to secondary turn ratio (N1N2) = 101
- Load resistance at the secondary winding (RL) = 46 Ω

Step 1: Calculate the secondary voltage (V2)
According to the transformer turns ratio formula shown in the image:

V2V1=N2N1

Rearranging the formula to solve for V2:

V2=V1×N2N1

Substitute the given values:

V2=230×110=23 V
This matches the 23 V potential difference labeled across the secondary winding in the schematic diagram.

Step 2: Calculate the power output at the secondary winding (PL)
The power dissipated by the load resistor connected to the secondary coil is given by:

PL=V22RL

Substitute V2=23 V and RL=46 Ω into the equation:

PL=23246

PL=52946=11.5 W

Therefore, the power output of the secondary windings is 11.5 watt.
