उत्तर
The large scale transmission of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The voltage output of the generator is stepped-up because of reduction of current and power loss is cut down both.
Explanation:
Because the voltage is increased, the current decreases. Power loss is proportional to the square of the current. Power loss diminishes considerably as current drops.

What is the function of a step-up transformer?
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.
The value of current in the bulb is ______.
A step down transformer connected to an AC mains supply of 220 V is made to operate at 11 V, 44 W lamp. Ignoring power losses in the transformer, what is the current in the primary circuit?
What does the laminated soft iron core provide for the flux?
What is the induced EMF in the secondary coil?
