Question

A transformer supplies 60 watts of power to a device that is rated at 20 volts. The primary coil is connected to a 120-volt ac source. What is the current I1 in the primary coil

Answer 1

Answer:

I = 0.5 A

Explanation:

Given: P=60 Watts, Voltage supply V = 120 Volts (for primary coil)

Solution:

we have P = V I

⇒ I = P /V = 60 Watts / 120 Volts

I = 0.5 A
