Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Efficiency = (power output)/power input x 100%
= 1s VS x 100% 1p
Vp
∴ (80)/100 = (50)/IP x 200
I P = (50 x 100)/80 x 200 = 3.125 A
Efficiency = (power output)/power input x 100%
= 1s VS x 100% 1p
Vp
∴ (80)/100 = (50)/IP x 200
I P = (50 x 100)/80 x 200 = 3.125 A
