A power transmission line feeds input power at 3300V to a step down transformer with its primary windings having 2000 turns. What should be the number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at 330V.

A power transmission line feeds input power a 3300 V to a step down transformer with it primary windings having 2000 turns. Wha should be the number of turns in th secondary in order to get output power a 330 V ?

Do the same exercise as above with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40,000-220 V step-down transformer (Neglect, as before, leakage losses though this may not be a good assumption any longer because of the very high voltage transmission involved). Hence, explain why high voltage transmission is preferred?

"In a ideal transformer power may increase or decrease".Such statement is true or false?

1MW power is to be delivered from a power station to a town 10 km away. One uses a pair of Cu wires of radius 0.5 cm for this purpose. Calculate the fraction of ohmic losses to power transmitted if (a) power is transmitted at 220V. Comment on the feasibility of doing this. (b) a step-up transformer is used to boost the voltage to 11000 V, power transmitted, then a step-down transformer is used to bring voltage to 220 V. (rho_(cu)=1.7xx10^(-8) SI unit )
