Pin = v.i = 120*0.3 = 36.
Pout = v*(v%r) = 18*(18/10) = 32.4.
n% = op/inp = 32.4/36 = 90%.
Pout = v*(v%r) = 18*(18/10) = 32.4.
n% = op/inp = 32.4/36 = 90%.

Input power = 120*3*0.001 = 36.
Output current = v/r = 18/10 = 1.8.
Output power = 18*1.8 = 32.4.
n% = O/P power / I/P power = (32.4/36)*100.
= 0.90*100.
= 90%.
Thank you.

How did you calculate it?

pin= v*i = 120*.3 = 36
pout = v^2/R = 18^2/10 = 32.4
eff = pout/pin = 32.4/36 = .9*100 = 90%
pout = v^2/R = 18^2/10 = 32.4
eff = pout/pin = 32.4/36 = .9*100 = 90%

I don't know this formula whish is used to calculate P out?
So please help me.

Formula for P out:
We know that p=v.i --->1
and i=v/r --->2
sub 2 in 1
So p=v*(v/r)
Hence (v^2)/r

Nice explanation.

Should it be that both voltage and current in the primary must be in rms? what if they were in average value? or what if the other one is rms and the other one is average?
