Solution and Explanation

Given

\[ N_p=100,\qquad N_s=5000 \]

\[ V_p=220\;V \]

\[ P=3.3\;kW=3300\;W \]


Step 1: Calculate Current in the Primary Coil

For an ideal transformer,

\[ P=V_pI_p \]

Therefore,

\[ I_p=\frac{P}{V_p} \]

Substituting the given values,

\[ I_p=\frac{3300}{220} =15\;A \]

Hence,

\[ \boxed{I_p=15\;A} \]


Step 2: Calculate the Output Voltage

For an ideal transformer,

\[ \frac{V_s}{V_p}=\frac{N_s}{N_p} \]

Substituting the given values,

\[ \frac{V_s}{220}=\frac{5000}{100}=50 \]

Therefore,

\[ V_s=220\times50 =11000\;V \]

Hence,

\[ \boxed{V_s=11000\;V=11\;kV} \]


Final Answer

  • (i) Current in the primary coil:

\[ \boxed{15\;A} \]

  • (ii) Output voltage:

\[ \boxed{11000\;V=11\;kV} \]
