In transmission of power from generation plants to users, transformers are used. Identify the correct reason to choose appropriate transformers.
(A) A step-up transformer is used at the generation plant and high voltages are transmitted.
(B) A step-down transformer is used at the generation plant and low voltages are transmitted.
(C) A step-up transformer lowers the current and hence loss due to joule heating is less.
(D) A step-down transformer lowers the current and hence loss due to joule heating is less.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) and (C) only Reason (A) is correct: A step-up transformer is used at the generation plant to increase the voltage to very high levels for transmission over long distances. Reason (C) is correct: Power ( \(P\) ) is the product of voltage ( \(V\) ) and current ( \(I\) ),…
