Q2
a. Draw and explain the phosor diagram of an ideal transformer in load situation.
b. An ideal transformer having 90 turns on the primary and 2250 turns on the
secondary is connected to a 200 V, 50 Hz source. The load across the secondary
draws a current of 2 A at a power factor of 0.8 lagging. Calculate,
i. the effective value of the primary current
ii. the instantaneous current in the primary when the instantaneous current
in the secondary is 100 mA.
iii. the peak flux linked by the secondary winding
iv. draw the phasor diagram
