Solution
Given:
Inductance of the coil, `L = 5.0 mH = 0.005 H`
(a) At ω = 100 s−1:
Reactance of coil `(X_L)` is given by,
`X_L = omegaL`
Here, `omega`= angular frequency
`therefore X_L = 100xx0.005 = 0.5 Ω`
peak current , `l_0 = 10/0.5 = 20 A`
(b) At `omega = 500 s^-1`
Reactance, `X_L = 500 xx 5/1000`
= 2.5 Ω
peak current, `l_0 = 10/2.5 = 4A`\
(c) ω = 1000 s−1:
`Reactance, X_L = 1000 xx 0.005 = 5 Ω`
Peak current, `l_0 = 10/5 = 2A`

A small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V.

(c) Characterise the step up transformer at the plant.
Do the same with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40,000-220 V step-down transformer (Neglect, as before, leakage losses though this may not be a good assumption any longer because of the very high voltage transmission involved). Hence, explain why high voltage transmission is preferred?
