In an ideal transformer:

Correct answer: A. Power input is equal to Power output.

  • A. Power input is equal to Power output.
  • B. Power input is less than half of the power output.
  • C. Power input is greater than Power output
  • D. Power input is more than half of the power output.

Explanation

A is Correct, as an ideal transformer operates with 100% efficiency, meaning no energy is lost

About Transformers

Transformers transfer alternating electrical energy between coils by mutual induction, with voltage ratio determined by the turns ratio. The topic covers step-up and step-down transformers, current changes, ideal power conservation and practical losses such as heating and flux leakage. A transformer requires changing magnetic flux, so it does not operate with steady direct current.
