How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy

Physics

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]2 years ago

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have N_s > N_p, so that V_s > V_p, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have N_s < N_p, so that V_s < V_p, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)

Valentin [98]

Answer:

b. craters, river valleys feeding into surface lakes of very cold liquids

Explanation:

  • Jovian moons are the four largest satellites like the moon of the Jupiter ie the Lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and were first seen by the galileo. They are amiugly the largest moons with radii larger than the dwarf planet.  
  • Lo has more than 400 active volcanoes and dotted more than 100 mountains and has an extremely thin atmosphere made up of sulfur dioxide. The Europa has deep oceans of liquid water, and the layer of ice, and are characteristic of the tidal heating.  
  • <u>While the surface of Callisto is heavily cratered and has salty liquid water.</u>

A boat is drifting with a speed of 5.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}5.0 s m ​ 5, point, 0, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s,
zepelin [54]

Answer:

d=42m(-\hat{i})

Explanation:

For this problem, we need to apply the formulas of constant accelerated motion.

To obtain the boat displacement we need to calculate the displacement because of the river flow and the displacement done because of the boat motor.

for the river:

d_r=v*t\\d_r=5m/s*6s\\d_r=30m(\hat{i})

for the boat:

x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\x=\frac{1}{2}*4.0m/s*(6s)^2\\\\\\x=72m(-\hat{i})

So the final displacement is given by:

d=dr+x\\d=30m-72m\\d=42m(-\hat{i})
