An A.C. generator has smaller resistance than that of the resistive load. To increase the energy supply to the load from the generator a tranformer is to be connected between the two. Should it be a step-up or step-down transformer?

A small town with a demand of 800 kW of power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5Omega . km^-1 . The line gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a substation in the town. Characterise the step-up transformer at the plant.

Transformer is a device used to increase or decrease the voltage in the transmission line according to requirement, Generally the input line voltage is fed in a primary coil and the output line voltage is obtained from the terminals of another coil In an ideal transformer, the primary and secondary coils are linked is such a way that there is no loss of magnetic flux and electrical energy. In an ideal transformer, if the number of turns and input voltage across the terminals of the primary coils be N_1 and V_1 , then the output voltage at the two terminals of the secondary coil V_2=V_1.N_2/N_1 , where N_2 is the number of turns in the secondary coil . The ratio of number of turns of the primary and secondary coils of an ideal transformer is 2:1 IF the input voltage is 440 V, then output voltage is if the input power of the transformer be 44 W, then output power is In the above mentioned transformer the input and output currents are respectively.

you have several identical electric cells. IF the internal resistance of the cells be (i) very much greater (ii) very much smaller than external resistance, then how should the cells be connected with that resistance to increase the current through it?
