Chapter 23, Problem 48PE
(a) The plug-in transformer for a laptop computer puts out 7.50 V and can supply a maximum current of 2.00 A. What is the maximum input current if the input voltage is 240 V? Assume 100% ef?ciency. (b) If the actual efficiency is less man 100%, would the input current need to be greater or smaller? Explain.

Power is generated at 24 kV at a generating plant located56 km from a town that requires 55 MW of power at12 kV. Two transmission lines from the plant to the towneach have a resistance of 0.10 Ω/km What should theoutput voltage of the transformer at the generating plant befor an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5%, assuminga perfect transformer?
An ideal transformer produces an output voltage that is 500% larger (e.g. a 6-fold increase) than the input voltage.
1)If the input current is 13 A (rms), what is the output current? (Express your answer to two significant figures.)
An ideal step-up transformer with turn ratio 1:30 is supplied with an input power of 120 W. If the output voltage is 210 V, calculate the output power and input current.
