The output power in step-up transformer used in practice is

The output power in step-up transformer used in practice is

  • A. Greater than the input power
  • B. Equal to the input power
  • C. Less than the input power
  • D. None of the above

Step-by-step solution

In practice, transformers have losses such as copper losses (I²R in windings), core losses (hysteresis and eddy currents), and leakage flux. These losses cause the output power to be less than the input power, unlike the ideal case where they are equal.
