Suppose a large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted this voltage to 360 kV. The secondary coil of this transformer is being replaced so that its output can be 740 kV for more efficient cross-country transmission on upgraded transmission lines.
If the overall power output is 1000.0 MW and line resistance is 2.00 Ω, what is the power loss, in watts, in the new power lines which leave the plant?
A transformer has 100 turns in its primary coil and 2000 turns in its secondary coil. The emf in the primary is 12 V and the total resistance in the secondary is 1000 ohm
calculate (i) the emf in the secondary coil. (ii) the current in the secondary coil, (iii) the current in the primary coil. Assume that the transformer is ideal.
