When a short circuit test on a transformer is performed at 25 V, 50 Hz, the drawn current is I1. If the test is performed by 25 V and 25 Hz and power drawn current is I2, then

When a short circuit test on a transformer is performed at 25 V, 50 Hz, the drawn current is I1. If the test is performed by 25 V and 25 Hz and power drawn current is I2, then Correct Answer I1 2

Current by ohm’s law is equal to voltage divided by impedance. So, I=V/Z. Here Z is inductive load, thus Z= 2πfL. So as the frequency decreases the impedance also decreases and ultimately it reduces the denominator term causing increase in current.
