उत्तर
- When power is transmitting for long-distance a fraction of power is lost due to joule heating (I2R).
- This power loss can be tackled either by reducing current i or by reducing resistance R of a transmission line.
- At the transmitting point, voltage is increased and the current is decreased by a step-up transformer.
- This reduced current at high voltage reaches the destination without applicable loss.
- At the receiving point, voltage is decreased and current is increased by step down transformer.
- Example 1:
2MW power is transmitted at 40Ω with 10 kV voltage
I = `"P"/"V" = (2 xx 10^6)/(10 xx 10^3)` = 200 A
Power loss = I2 R = (200)2 × 40 = 1.6 × 106 W
% of Power loss = `(1.6 xx 10^6)/(2 xx 10^6) xx 100 % = 80%` - Example 2:
When 2MW power at 40 Q is transmitted with 100 kV voltage.
I = `"P"/"V" = (2 xx 10^3)/(100 xx 10^3)` = 20 A
Power loss = I2 R = (200)2 × 40 = 0.016 × 106 W
% of power loss = `(0.016 xx 10^6)/(2 xx 10^6) xx 100%`
= 0.8 × 100% = 80%

A transformer is essentially an a.c. device. It cannot work on d.c. It changes alternating voltages or currents. It does not affect the frequency of a.c. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having different numbers of turns and wound on the same soft iron core.
The number of turns in the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transformer is 2000 and 50 respectively. The primary coil is connected to a main supply of 120 V and secondary coil is connected to a bulb of resistance 0.6 Ω.
