Question
The primary coil of an ideal step-up transformer has 100 turns and the transformation ratio is also 100. The input voltage and power are 220 V and 1100 W, respectively. Calculate the
(a) number of turns in secondary
(b) current in the primary
(c) a voltage across secondary
(d) current in secondary
(e) power in secondary

Solution
(a) Number of turns in secondary coil is given by
`N_S/N_P=n`
`=>N_S/100=100`
⇒NS=10,000
(b) Current in primary is given by
IPVP=P
`=>I_P=1100/220=5A`
(c) Voltage across secondary is given by
`V_S/V_P=N_S/N_P=n`
⇒VS=100×220=22,000 V
(d) Current in secondary is given by
VSIS=P
`=>I_S=P/V_S=1100/22000=0.05A`
(e) Power in secondary is power in primary in an ideal transformer.
= 1,100 W

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.
