Question
Step-down transformers are used to decrease or step-down voltages. These are used when voltages need to be lowered for use in homes and factories. A small town with a demand of 800kW of electric power at 220V is situated 15km away from an electric plant generating power at 440V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5Q per km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000 - 220V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.

  1. The value of total resistance of the wires is:
  1. $25\Omega$
  2. $30\Omega$
  3. $35\Omega$
  4. $15\Omega$
  1. The line power loss in the form of heat is:
  1. 550kW
  2. 650kW
  3. 600kW
  4. 700kW
  1. How much power must the plant supply, assuming there is negligible power loss due to leakage?
  1. 600kW
  2. 1600kW
  3. 500W
  4. 1400kW
  1. The voltage drop in the power line is:
  1. 1700V
  2. 3000V
  3. 2000V
  4. 2800V
  1. The total value of voltage transmitted from the plant is:
  1. 500V
  2. 4000V
  3. 3000V
  4. 7000V

Answer

  1. (d) $15\Omega$

Explanation:

Resistance of the two wire lines carrying power $=0.5\frac{\Omega}{\text{Km}}$

Total resistance $=(15+15)0.5=15\Omega$

  1. (c) 600kW

Explanation:

Line power loss = I2R

RMS current in the coil,

$\text{I}=\frac{\text{P}}{\text{V}_1}=\frac{800\times10^3}{4000}=200\text{A}$

$\therefore$ Power loss = (200)2 × 15 = 600kW

  1. (d) 1400kW

Explanation:

Assuming that the power loss is negligible due to the leakage of the current.

The total power supplied by the plant,

= 800kW + 600kW = 1400kW

  1. (b) 3000V

Explanation:

Voltage drop in the power line = IR

= 200 × 15 = 3000V

  1. (d) 7000V

Explanation:

Total voltage transmitted from the plant,

= 3000V + 4000V = 7000V

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the charge of the particle.

This force is given by $\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$ where q is the electric charge of the particle, v is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and Bis the magnetic field (in tesla).

The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross product of two vectors.

Force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. Its direction is same as $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if q is positive and opposite of $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if q is negative.

The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field generated by a changing magnetic field.

  1. When a magnetic field is applied on a stationary electron, it:
  1. Remains stationary.
  2. Spins about its own axis.
  3. Moves in the direction of the field.
  4. Moves perpendicular to the direction of the field.
