Two Mississippi companies, Howard Industries and Kuhlman Electric Company, are responsible for most of the transformers and powe

r grids produced in the United States and shipped world-wide.
What role does a transformer play in the supply of electricity over long distances?
A) Transformers decrease voltage so electrical energy can safely be transmitted over long distances through wires.
B) Transformers increase voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.
C) Transformers decrease voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.
D) Transformers convert nuclear energy to electrical energy before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.

<span>B) Transformers increase voltage before transmitting electrical energy economically over long distances through wires.

Transformers are also used at the other end, to decrease the voltage
from the long-distance transmission lines to go into houses.
 
It turns out that if you pump electricity through the wires at a higher voltage
and lower current, then less of it is LOST on the way from the power station
to its destination.

The saving is so great that it more than pays for the big transformers
at each end of the long-distance electric transmission line.

If 1495 j of heat is needed to raise the temperature of a 351 g sample of a metal from 55.0°c to 66.0°c, what is the specific he
forsale [732]
The amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is given by
Q= mC_s \Delta T
where m is the mass of the substance, Cs is its specific heat capacity and \Delta T is the increase of temperature.

If we re-arrange the formula, we get
C_s =  \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}
And if we plug the data of the problem into the equation, we can find the specific heat capacity of the substance:
C_s =  \frac{1495 J}{(351 g)(66.0^{\circ}C-55.0^{\circ}C)}=0.39 J/g^{\circ}C
