A generator at a utility company produces 100 A of current at 4000 V. The voltage is stepped up to 240000 V by a transformer before it is sent on a high voltage transmission line. The current in transmission line is

A

3.67 A

B

2.67 A

C

1.67 A

D

2.40 A

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`4000 xx 100 = 240000 xx i_(s)`
`i_(s) = 1.67 A`

Is energy produced when a transformer steps up the voltage?

In a step-up transformer the voltage in the primary is 220 V and the currrent is 5A . The secondary voltage is found to be 22000V . The current in the secondary (neglect losses)is

The output voltage of a transformer connected to 220 voltl line is 1100 volt at 1 amp current. Its efficiency is 100% the current coming from the line is

Assertion : A step-up transformer changes a low voltage into a high voltage. Reason : This violate the law of conservation of energy.

A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V a step down transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns. The output power is delivered at 230 V by the transformer. If the current in the primary of the transformer is 5A and its efficiency is 90% , the output current would be :
