Answer:

The current in the primary coil would be
0.5\ A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the power supplied by a transformer is 60 watts.

And the voltage in the primary coil is 120 Volts.

We need to find the current supply in the primary coil.

We will use the formula


P=V* I

Where,


P is the power in Watts.


V is the voltage in Volts.


I is the current supply in Ampere.


I=(P)/(V)\\\\I=(60)/(120)\\ \\I=0.5\ A

So, the current in the primary coil would be
0.5\ A.
