a) The power supplied to the transformer.
Efficiency=(power output/ power input)x100
80=[(60x10)/power input]x100
Power input= (60x10x100)/80
=750W
b) The current in the primary coil
Power input=VPxIP
IP=750W/240V =3.125A

(Solved)
An aluminium tray of mass 400g containing 300g of water is placed in a refrigerator. After 80 minutes, the
tray is removed and it is found that 60g of water remains unfrozen at 0^oC. If the initial temperature of the tray and its contents was 20^oC, determine the average amount of heat removed per minute by the refrigerator. Take s.h.c of aluminium = 900JKg-1K-1, s.h.c of water = 4200JKg-1K-1, s.l.h. of fusion of ice = 3.4*25JKg

(Solved)
In an experiment to determine the specific heat capacity of a metal, a 20g of the metal was transferred
from boiling water to a lagged copper calorimeter containing cold water. The water was stirred and a
final steady temperature was realized. The following data was recorded:
-initial temperature of cold water and calorimeter =20^oC
-temperature of boiling water =99^oC
-final temperature of water, calorimeter and metal =23.7^oC
-mass of cold water plus calorimeter =130g
mass of calorimeter =50g
Take s.h.c. of water=4200JKg-1K-1, s.h.c. of copper=400JKg-1K-1.
Use the data above to determine:
