प्रश्न
An a.c generator generates an emf 'ε' where ε = 314 Sin (50πt) volt. Calculate the frequency of emf ε.

उत्तर
Since e = 314 sin 50 πt V
∴ ω = 50 π
Hence, frequency, f = `(50pi)/(2pi)` = 25 Hz or Rad s-1

Derive an expression for ratio of e.m.f.s and currents in terms of number of turns in primary and secondary coil.
A group of students while coming from the school noticed a box marked "Danger H.T. 2200 V" at a substation in the main street. They did not understand the utility of a such a high voltage, while they argued, the supply was only 220 V. They asked their teacher this question the next day. The teacher thought it to be an important question and therefore explained to the whole class.
Answer the following questions:
(i) What device is used to bring the high voltage down to low voltage of a.c. current and what is the principle of its working ?
(ii) Is it possible to use this device for bringing down the high dc voltage to the low voltage? Explain
(iii) Write the values displayed by the students and the teacher.
Derive an expression for e.m.f. and current in terms of turns ratio
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.
On which type of current do transformers work?
The secondary windings of a transformer in which the voltage is stepped down are usually made of thicker wire than the primary. Explain why.
Can a transformer be used with direct current source? Give reason.
What are step-up and step-down transformers?
Explain the construction of transformer.
