Problem

Two ideal transformers are connected in cascade. The first raises the voltage from 220 V220\,\text{V} to 1100 V1100\,\text{V}. The second, connected to the 1100 V1100\,\text{V} line, lowers it to 110 V110\,\text{V} for a device that draws 2 A2\,\text{A}. The current taken from the original 220 V220\,\text{V} mains is (a) 0.2 A0.2\,\text{A} (b) 1 A1\,\text{A} (c) 4 A4\,\text{A} (d) 0.4 A0.4\,\text{A}
