Electrical energy is transmitted over long distances at high alternating voltages by the use of a transformer. Choose the correct statements from the following :
(A) Higher voltage implies less power loss.
(B) The alternating magnetic flux induces eddy currents in the iron core and causes heating.
(C) Step up transformer increases the current by reducing the voltage in the above transformer.
(D) Transmission lines can be made thinner to reduce power loss.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A) and (B) only
  3. C (B) and (D) only
  4. D (A) and (C) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (A) and (B) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) is Correct: Transmitting power at higher voltages reduces the current (I) for the same power level. Since power loss in lines is \(I ^{ 2 } R\), lower current significantly minimizes energy loss as heat. (B) is Correct: In any transformer with an iron core, the changing…
