उत्तर
a, b and d
Explanation:
As we know that power = `I_(rms)^2R`
So to decrease power loss Irms and R must be lower for a constant power supply. To decrease Irms, Vrms must be increased by step up transformer to get same power in step-up transformer
For a given power level, we find that
P = ErmsIrms ......(Irms is low when Erms is high)
Power loss = `I_(rms)^2` R = low ......(∵ Irms is low)
Now at the receiving end, high voltage is reduced by using step-down transformers.

Name the transformer used in the power transmitting station of a power plant.
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.

3) Write two values each shown by the teachers and Geeta.
