Solution
Given:
NP = 40, eP = 100 V, PP = 100 watt, eS = 400 V
To find:
- Number of turns in the secondary (NS)
- Current in the secondary (IS)
- Current in the primary (IP)
Formulae:
- `"e"_"p"/"e"_"s" = "N"_"p"/"N"_"s"`
- P = Ie
Calculation:
From formula (i),
`"N"_"s" = "N"_"p" xx "e"_"s"/"e"_"p" = (40 xx 400)/100`
∴ NS = 160
For an ideal transformer, PS = PP
From formula (ii),
PS = ISeS
∴ IPeP = ISeS
∴ Is = `("I"_"p""e"_"p")/"e"_"s"`
= `"P"_"p"/"e"_"s" = 100/400 = 0.25` A
Ip = `"P"_"p"/"e"_"p"`
Ip = `100/100 = 1` A
∴ Ip = 1 A
- The number of turns in the secondary is 160.
- The current in the secondary is 0.25 A.
- The current in the primary is 1 A.

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.
