A student designed a transformer to supply a current of 10A at a potential difference of 60V to an electric motor from an ac supply of 240V. if the efficiency of the transformer is 80%, calculate:
a) The power supplied to the transformer.
b) The current in the primary coil

a) The power supplied to the transformer.
Efficiency=(power output/ power input)x100
80=[(60x10)/power input]x100
Power input= (60x10x100)/80
=750W
b) The current in the primary coil
Power input=VPxIP
IP=750W/240V =3.125A
