For the electric power transmission system shown in the figure above, what is the ratio ns/np for the step-up transformer? assum
e 100% efficiency.
1 answer:
I am attaching the missing figure
If we assume 100% efficiency, this means that the input power of the transformer must be equal to the output power
We divide output/input
240,000/12,000 = 20
This means that the transformer has a turns ratio of 1:20
<span>ns/np = 20/1 = 20
The voltage is amplified 20 times by the transformer, but this also means that the current decreases by a factor of 20, so the total power remains the same.</span>
