उत्तर

Input ac voltage Vp = 240 V.

Number of turns in primary coil Np = 4800

No. of turns in secondary coil Ns = ?

Output voltage Vs = 8 V.

We know that 

`"V"_"p"/"V"_"s" = "N"_"p"/"N"_"s"`

`"N"_"s" = ("N"_"p" xx "V"_"s")/ "V"_"p"`

= `(4800 xx 8) / 240`

= 160

The number of turns in the secondary coil is 160.

Long distance power transmissions

The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.

A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a step down transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns. The number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at 230 V are ______.


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.

  3. The driving force cannot syphon out (P < 0) the energy out of oscillator.
  4. The driving force can take away energy out of the oscillator.
