Chapter 26, Problem 54GP
The voltage-to-current ratio in the primary coil of a transformer can be thought of as the transformer’s effective resistance. A step-down transformer converts 120 V at the primary to 24 V at the secondary, which is connected to a load of resistance 8.0 Ω. What is the effective resistance of this transformer when connected to this load?
Hint: Resistance is defined as the ratio of two circuit quantities.

A transformer has a primary coil with 500 turns of wire and a secondary coil with 3,500 turns. An AC voltage source connected across the primary coil has a voltage given by the function
Δv = (110 V)sin(?t).
What rms voltage (in V) is measured across the secondary coil?

A transmission line that has a resistance per unit length of 4.20 ✕ 10-4 Ω /m is to be used to transmit 5.00 MW over 400 miles (6.44 ✕ 105 m). The output voltage of the generator is 4.50 kV.
(a) What is the line loss if a transformer is used to step up the voltage to 430 kV? kW(b) What fraction of the input power is lost to the line under these circumstances?
