Correct answer: A
Let's analyze the problem step by step. We are given a step-up transformer with the following specifications:
Primary Voltage (Vp) =
Secondary Voltage (Vs) =
Power (P) = watt
The power input to the transformer is equal to the power output, assuming there is no loss in the transformer.
Hence,
$$P_{primary} = P_{secondary} = P = 88 \mathrm{~W}$$
The power equations can be written as:
$$P_{primary} = V_p I_p$$
$$P_{secondary} = V_s I_s$$
Given the power in the secondary winding is $88 \mathrm{~W}$ and the secondary voltage is $11000 \mathrm{~V}$, we can find the secondary current $I_s$ using the formula:
$$P_{secondary} = V_s I_s$$
Rearranging to solve for $I_s$ gives:
$I_s = \frac{P}{V_s}$
Substituting the given values:
$$I_s = \frac{88 \mathrm{~W}}{11000 \mathrm{~V}}$$
Simplifying this expression:
$$I_s = \frac{88}{11000} \mathrm{~A}$$
$$I_s = 0.008 \mathrm{~A}$$
$I_s = 8 \mathrm{~mA}$
Therefore, the current in the secondary circuit, ignoring the power loss in the transformer, is 8 mA.
The correct option is Option A: 8 mA.
