प्रश्न
1 MW power is to be delivered from a power station to a town 10 km away. One uses a pair of Cu wires of radius 0.5 cm for this purpose. Calculate the fraction of ohmic losses to power transmitted if
- power is transmitted at 220 V. Comment on the feasibility of doing this.
- a step-up transformer is used to boost the voltage to 11000 V, power transmitted, then a step-down transfomer is used to bring voltage to 220 V. (ρCu = 1.7 × 10–8 SI unit)

उत्तर
i. When power is transmitted at 220 V.
Power lost in transmission P = I2R
| P = VI |
P = 1 MV = 106 W
V = 220 Volt
`I = P/V = 1000000/220`
`I = 50000/11 A`
| R = `ρ I/A` |
⇒ R = `(ρl)/(pir^2)`
I = 10 km × 2 = 20,000 M
∴ A = πr2
r = 0.5 cm = 0.5 cm × 10–2 = 5 × 10–3 cm
ρCu = 1.7 × 10–8 Ωm
R = `(ρI)/A`
∴ R = `(1.7 xx 10^-8 xx 20,000)/(3.14 xx 5 xx 10^-3 xx 5 xx 10^-3)`
= `(170 xx 20000 xx 10^(-8+6))/(314 xx 5 xx 5)`
= `(170 xx 20000)/(314 xx 25 xx 100)` Ω
R = `(170 xx 800)/(314 xx 100) = (170 xx 4)/157 = 680/157` ≅ 4Ω
∴ Power loss = I2R
= `50000/11 xx 50000/11 xx 4 = (100 xx 10^8)/121 = 8.26 xx 10^7`
Power loss in heating = 82.6 MW
As 82.6 MW > 1 MW
So this method cannot be used to transmit the power.
ii. When power is transmitted at 11000 V
P = 106 W
VI = 1000000
11000 I = 1000000
`I = 1000000/11000 = 1000/11`
∴ RCu = 4Ω as already calculated in part (i)
∴ Power loss = P = I2R
P = `1000/11 xx 1000/11 xx 4 = 4000/121 xx 4^4`
P = `3.3 xx 10^4` Watt
Fractional power loss = `(3.3 xx 10^4)/10^6 = 3.3/1000` = 0.033
Power loss in 3.3%

Derive an expression for e.m.f. and current in terms of turns ratio
Express the turn ratio in terms of voltages.
The teachers of Geeta’s school took the students on a study trip to a power generating station, located nearly 200 km away from the city. The teacher explained that electrical energy is transmitted over such a long distance to their city, in the form of alternating current (ac) raised to a high voltage. At the receiving end in the city, the voltage is reduced to operate the devices. As a result, the power loss is reduced. Geeta listened to the teacher and asked questions about how the ac is converted to a higher or lower voltage.
1) Name the device used to change the alternating voltage to a higher or lower value. State one cause for power dissipation in this device.
2) Explain with an example, how power loss is reduced if the energy is transmitted over long distances as an alternating current rather than a direct current.
3) Write two values each shown by the teachers and Geeta.
