A generator at a utility company produces 100 A of current at 4000 V. ...
Given Data:
Current produced by generator = 100 A
Voltage produced by generator = 4000 V
Voltage after transforming = 240000 V
To find: Current in the transmission line
Explanation:
The power output by the generator is given as P = VI where V is the voltage and I is the current. As the power output is constant, we can equate the power input and output to the transformer.
Power input to the transformer = Power output from the generator
VI = V' I'
where V' and I' are the voltage and current after the transformer.
We know V = 4000 V and V' = 240000 V
Substituting these values in the above equation, we get:
(4000 V) (100 A) = (240000 V) I'
I' = (4000/240000) (100 A) = 1.67 A
Therefore, the current in the transmission line is 1.67 A.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
A generator at a utility company produces 100 A of current at 4000 V. ...
Given:
Current produced by generator, I1 = 100 A
Voltage produced by generator, V1 = 4000 V
Voltage after stepping up, V2 = 240000 V
To find:
Current in transmission line, I2 = ?
Solution:
The power output of the generator is given by the formula:
P = VI
where V is the voltage and I is the current.
Power output of the generator:
P1 = V1 × I1
P1 = 4000 V × 100 A
P1 = 400000 W
Since power is conserved, the power output of the transformer must be equal to the power output of the generator.
Power output of the transformer:
P2 = V2 × I2
Equating P1 and P2:
V1 × I1 = V2 × I2
Solving for I2:
I2 = (V1/V2) × I1
I2 = (4000 V/240000 V) × 100 A
I2 = 1.67 A
Therefore, the current in the transmission line is 1.67 A.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
