Hello, I'm seriously very confused over this part of physics which I just learnt, so I really need your help. >.< Thank you very much!
1] A transformer is used to supply a voltage of 12V to the output circuit. The primary coil has 2000 turns and the secondary coil has 100 turns. With the secondary coil connected across a resistor, the power dissipated in the secondary circuit is 40W.
[a] What kind of transformer is it? (I know it's a step down transformer)
[b] Calculate the current flowing in the secondary coil.
[c] Calculate the voltage of the a.c. supply, if the efficiency of the transformer is 80%.
2] A consumer receives a power of 20kW at 400V at his end of transmission lines. If the resistance of the transmission lines is 0.2 ohms, calculate
[a] the current flowing in the lines
[b] the voltage drop in the lines
-------------------------------
You see, I know the formulas but I seriously don't know how to apply them, in case you guys need, these should be the forumulas I can used for my level as of now:
IpVp = IsVs , Vs/Vp = Ns/Np
If it's possible, can you guys try to explain to me why you do the steps you take? Because I'm really 100% clueless >.<. There are still a lot of questions, but I guess I'll see how these two questions are solved first and attempt the rest on my own afterwards, thank you in advance! =)

[b] Calculate the current flowing in the secondary coil.
In secondary coil, voltage is 12V, power is 40W, so
P = VI
40W = 12V * I
I = 10/3 A = 3.33A (3 s.f.)
[c] Calculate the voltage of the a.c. supply, if the efficiency of the transformer is 80%.
Not sure but I know
80/100 * Pp = Ps
80/100 * Pp = 40W
Pp = 50W
after that i dunno liao
2] A consumer receives a power of 20kW at 400V at his end of transmission lines. If the resistance of the transmission lines is 0.2 ohms, calculate
[a] the current flowing in the lines
power is 20 000W, voltage is 400V
P = VI
20kW = 400V * I
I = 50A
[b] the voltage drop in the lines
dunno how to do
OHH, thanks so much, so it's basically just the old formulaes?
For part 1[c], can I do it this way?
[For 80% efficiency] Vs/Vp = Ns/Np
12V/Vp = 100/2000
Vp = 240V
Therefore voltage of a.c. supply (should be 100%) = 240/80% x 100%
= 300V
=X As for part 2[b], can I assume that voltage drop is same as power loss? No right?
-------------------
May I ask another question? >.<
3] Electricity is to be supplied from a power station to a factory by means of a transmission line of overall resistance 100 ohms. The power station produces 10000kW. This power is delivered to the line at a voltage of 50kV. Calculate
[a] the current that would flow in the transmission line.
[b] the power coverted to heat on the transmission line.
For part [a] I'm kind of confused whether to use P = IV or V = IR or P = I^2 R. As for part [b], my teacher mentioned that for power loss you must use P = I^2 R, but then isnt P = IV possible too? Sorry and thank you so much for replying! (:
1c i dun think u can do it tat way
2b im not sure of wad is it asking lol
3a) i think should be use P = IV
without a diagram, very hard for mi to know wad is the qn trying to say
3b) use heat loss = I²R
Do you have the answers?
For part 1[c], can I do it this way?
[For 80% efficiency] Vs/Vp = Ns/Np
12V/Vp = 100/2000
Vp = 240V
Therefore voltage of a.c. supply (should be 100%) = 240/80% x 100%
= 300V
That depends on whether the 12V is a dc voltage or an ac voltage. Not really stated in question.
If it is a dc voltage, you need to multiply it by sqrt(2) to get the max ac voltage
Sigh. ): Hmmm, sorry but I don't have the answers. It's okay, I'll wait for my teacher to go through and post up the answers here for others' references. :D Thanks so much for trying to help.
