Here,\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{p}}=1000 \mathrm{~V}, \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{s}}=20 \mathrm{~A}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{s}}=120 \mathrm{~V}
\eta=80 \%
As \eta=\frac{E_s I_s}{E_p I_p} \quad \therefore \frac{80}{100}=\frac{120 \times 20}{1000 \times I_p}

\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{p}}=\frac{2.4 \times 10}{8}=3 \mathrm{~A}
