What is correct for a real transformer?

Asked in GUJCET 2020 · Transformers

Answer: (1) Pᵢ>Pₒ

Step-by-step solution

Idea: Pᵢ is the power drawn by the primary and Pₒ the power delivered by the secondary.

In a real transformer some power is always lost: I²R heating of the windings, eddy currents and hysteresis in the core, and flux leakage.

Pₒ=Pᵢ-Pₗₒₛₛ, so Pᵢ>Pₒ and the efficiency is less than 100%.

So for a real transformer Pᵢ>Pₒ.

Why the other options are wrong
