A step down transformer with an input voltage of 220V decreases the voltage to half of the input .There is a current flowing of 15A in the primary coil. Find the output current

Respuesta :

The output current for the given step down transformer is 30A.

What is the step down transformer?

A step down transformer is a passive device that converts high voltage power to low voltage power, while the output current is higher than the  input current. They are used in power adaptors and rectifiers to decrease the voltage to the desired level. It works according to Faraday's law of Electromagnetic induction.

The current in the windings of a step down transformer is inversely proportional to the voltage in windings as:

Input voltage / Output voltage = Output current / Input current

220 / 110 = Outout current / 15

Output current = 30A

Hence, the output current (30A) obtained is higher than the given input current (15A).
