Read the following text and answer the following questions on the basis of the same: At power plant, a transformer increases the voltage of generated power by thousands of volts so that it can be sent of long distances through high-voltage transmission power lines. Transmission lines are bundles of wires that carry electric power from power plants to distant substations. At substations, transformers lower the voltage of incoming power to make it acceptable for high volume delivery to nearby end-users. Electricity is sent at extremely high voltage because it limits so-called line losses. Very good conductors of electricity also offer some resistance and this resistance becomes considerable over long distances causing considerable loss. At generating station, normally voltage is stepped up to around thousands of volts. Power losses increase with the square of current. Therefore, keeping voltage high current becomes low and the loss is minimized. Another option of minimizing loss is the use of wires of super-conducting material. Super-conducting materials are capable of conducting without resistance, they must be kept extremely cold, nearly absolute zero, and this requirement makes standard super-conducting materials impractical to use. However, recent advances in super-conducting materials have decreased cooling requirement. In Germany recently 1 km super-conducting cable have been installed connecting the generating station and the destination. It has eliminated the line loss and the cable is capable of sending five times more electricity than conventional cable. Using super-conducting cables Germany has also get rid of the need of costly transformers. Transformers generate waste heat when they are in operation and oil is the coolant of choice. It transfers the heat through convection to the transformer housing, which has cooling fins or radiators similar to heat exchangers on the outside. Flush point is a very important parameter of transformer oil. Flashpoint of an oil is the temperature at which the oil ignites spontaneously. This must be as high as possible (not less than 160^(@)C from the point of safety). Fire point is the temperature at which the oil flashes and continuously burns. This must be very high for the chosen oil (not less than 200^(@)C ). Flush point of an oil is

Rajan constructed a small house. He used good quality and well insulated copper wires for wiring. He also used good quality switches, sockets and plugs. However, had a very old room heater. On one winter night, Rajan was sleeping in a closed room with his family with the room heater switched on. During sleep, Rajan felt suffocated and woke up to see the room heater on fire. Rajan's son Arvind got up quickly and put off the main switch. Arvind also made a telephone call to Fire Brigade. The Fire Brigade men reached quickly and extinguished fire in the room. Rajan and his family thanked the firemen. (a) What was the cause of fire in Rajan's house ? (b) Name the safety device which was missing in the electric wiring of Rajan's house ? (c) How could the above device prevent fire in Rajan's house ? (d) What values are displayed by Arvind in this whole incident ?

Electric fuse is a protective device used in series with an electric circuit or an electric appliance to save it from damage due to overheating porduced by strong current in the circuit or application. Fuse wire is generally made from an alloy of lead and tin, which has hifh resistance and low melting point. It is connected in series in an electric installation. If a circuit gets accidentally short-circuited, a large current flows, then fuse wire melts away, which causes a break in the circuit. The power through fuse (F') is equal to heat energy lost per unit area per unit time (h) (neglecting heat loses from ends of the wire). P = I^2R = h xx 2pirl [R = (rhol)/(pir^2)] where r and l are the length and radius of fuse wire, respectively. A Battery is described by its emf (E) and internal resistance (r). Efficiency of battery (eta) is defined as the ratio of the output to the input power. eta = (Output power)/(Input power) xx 100% But I= E//(R+r), input power = EI. Output power = EI - I^2r , then. eta = ((EI - I^2r)/(EI)) xx 10 (1-(Ir)/E) xx 100 =1 - (E/(R+r)) (r/E) xx 100 = (R/(R+r)) xx 100 We know that output power of a source is maximum when the external resistance is equal to internal resistance, i.e., R = r . Efficiency of a battery (nonideal) when delivering the maximum power is
