Questions and Answers

What is the typical efficiency for miniature transformers?

60%

50% (correct)

70%

40%

In transformer calculations, what does V1 represent?

Current primary side

Output voltage

Input voltage (correct)

Current secondary side

What is the formula for calculating the current on the secondary side of a transformer?

$I2 = I1 \times (N2/N1)$

$I2 = I1 \times (N1/N2)$ (correct)

$I2 = I1 \div (N1/N2)$

$I2 = I1 \div (N2/N1)$
