A transformer is used to light a \(100~\text{W}\) and \(110~\text{V}\) lamp from a \(220~\text{V}\) main. If the main current is \(0.5~\text{A}\), the efficiency of the transformer is approximately:
1. \(30\%\)
2. \(50\%\)
3. \(90\%\)
4. \(10\%\)

The primary has \(100\) turns with \(100\) V rms applied to it while the secondary has a total number of \(20\) turns, with the connection \(C\) made at the centre. The current \(i\) flowing towards \(C\) has the (rms) value:
                   
1. \(2\) A
2. \(2\sqrt2\) A
3. \(\sqrt2\) A
4. zero

The primary of a transformer when connected to the DC battery of \(10\) Volt draws a current of \(1~\mathrm{mA}\). The number of turns of the primary and secondary windings are \(50\) and \(100\) respectively. The voltage in the secondary and the current drawn by the circuit in the secondary are respectively:
1. \(20~\mathrm{V}\)  and \(2.0~\mathrm{mA}\)
2. \(10~\mathrm{V}\) and \(0.5~\mathrm{mA}\)
3. zero and therefore no current
4. \(20~\mathrm{V}\) and \(0.5~\mathrm{mA}\)
