A \(12~\text{V},60~\text{W}\) lamp is connected to the secondary of a step-down transformer, whose primary is connected to AC mains of \(220~\text{V}\). Assuming the transformer to be ideal, what is the current in the primary winding?
1. \(0.37~\text{A}\)
2. \(0.27~\text{A}\)
3. \(2.7~\text{A}\)
4. \(3.7~\text{A}\)

A step-down transformer connected to an AC mains supply of \(220~\text{V}\) is made to operate at \(11~\text{V},\) \(44~\text{W}\) lamp. Ignoring power losses in the transformer, what is the current in the primary circuit?
1. \(2~\text{A}\)
2. \(4~\text{A}\)
3. \(0.2~\text{A}\)
4. \(0.4~\text{A}\)
