BMAT 2015 Section 2 Question 7

A 100% efficient step-down transformer decreases the voltage of an alternating current (a.c.) electricity supply. What effect does this step-down transformer have on the mean power transferred and the alternating current delivered?

Answer:

Step down transformer decreases the voltage and increases the current.

Power = voltage x current

If voltage decreases but current increases, then there is no change in the power transferred.
