Question 26: NCERT Solutions for 12th Class Physics: Chapter 7-Alternating Current
Repeat the same exercise as in the previous question with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40,000-220 V step down transformer. (Neglect, as before, leakage losses through 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?
Solution:
(a) Line power loss,
(b) Power supplied by the plant
(c) Voltage drop in the line,
So, by supply of electricity at higher voltage, 40,000 V instead by 4000 V the power loss is reduced greatly that is why the electric power is always transmitted at very high voltage.
Check the complete chapter with solutions.
