thumb_up100%
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 was the power loss, in watts, in the old power lines which left the plant?

- A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 5.6 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from the wall outlet. The number of turns in the primary is 420, and it delivers 500 mA (the secondary current) at an output voltage of 5.6 V (rms). (a) Should the transformer have more turns in the secondary compared to the primary, or fewer turns? O There should be more turns in the secondary. O There should be fewer turns in the secondary. (b) Find the current in the primary. (c) Find the number of turns in the secondary. turnsarrow_forwardX2.
