प्रश्न

State the principle on  which transformer works.

Advertisements

उत्तर

A transformer is a device with the help of which, a given alternating voltage can be increased or decreased to any desired value. The first type of transformer which delivers an output voltage smaller than the input voltage
is called a step down transformer. The second type of transformer which delivers an output voltage larger than the input voltage is called a step up transformer.

Principle of working of a transformer:
A transformer works on the principle that whenever the magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an emf is induced in the neighbouring coil.

Draw a labeled diagram of a step-down transformer.


A group of students while coming from the school noticed a box marked "Danger H.T. 2200 V" at a substation in the main street. They did not understand the utility of a such a high voltage, while they argued, the supply was only 220 V. They asked their teacher this question the next day. The teacher thought it to be an important question and therefore explained to the whole class.

Answer the following questions:

(i) What device is used to bring the high voltage down to low voltage of a.c. current and what is the principle of its working ?

(ii) Is it possible to use this device for bringing down the high dc voltage to the low voltage? Explain

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.
