प्रश्न
A transformer is used to step up an alternating emf of 200V to 440V. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, calculate the number of turns in the secondary coil.

उत्तर
This is an example of step-up transformer
`n_s/n_p = V_s/V_p`
`therefore n_s/1000 = 440/200`
`therefore n_s = 2200 "turns"`

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.
