प्रश्न
Name two kind of energy loss in a transformer. How is it minimized?
Advertisements
उत्तर १
The energy loss in a transformer is called 'copper loss'.
Copper losses: Primary and secondary coils of a transformer are generally made of copper wire. These copper wires have resistance. When current flows through these wires, a part of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This energy lost through the windings of the transformer is known as copper loss.
This loss can be minimized by using thick wires for the windings. Use of thick wire reduces its resistance and therefore reduces the loss of energy as heat in the coil.
Loss due to eddy current. It can be minimised by using laminated core.
उत्तर २
Energy losses:
- Because the coils are heated.
- Electromotive forces acting on the coil. One way to lessen this is to use thicker wire for the coil. There is a strong current.
- The iron core is laminated to reduce it.

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.
Which of the following statement is true?
For an LCR circuit, the power transferred from the driving source to the driven oscillator is P = I2Z cos φ.

- The driving force can give no energy to the oscillator (P = 0) in some cases.
- The driving force cannot syphon out (P < 0) the energy out of oscillator.
- The driving force can take away energy out of the oscillator.
