JEE Advanced · Physics · 19. Current Electricity
Paragraph:
A thermal power plant produces electric power of \(600 \mathrm{~kW}\) at \(4000 \mathrm{~V}\), which is to be transported to a place \(20 \mathrm{~km}\) away from the power plant for consumers' usage. It can be transported either directly with a cable of large current carrying capacity or by using a combination of step-up and step-down transformers at the two ends. The drawback of the direct transmission is the large energy dissipation. In the method using transformers, the dissipation is much smaller. In this method, a step-up transformer is used at the plant side so that the current is reduced to a smaller value. At the consumers' end, a step-down transformer is used to supply power to the consumers at the specified lower voltage. It is reasonable to assume that the power cable is purely resistive and the transformers are ideal with a power factor unity. All the currents and voltages mentioned are rms values.
Question:
If the direct transmission method with a cable of resistance \(0.4 \Omega \mathrm{km}^{-1}\) is used, the power dissipation (in %) during transmission is
- A
- B
- C

JEE Advanced 2023 Medium - Paragraph:
Light guidance in an optical fiber can be understood by considering a structure comprising of thin solid glass cylinder of refractive index \(n_{1}\) surrounded by a medium of lower refractive index \(n_{2}\). The light guidance in the structure takes place due to successive total internal reflections at the interface of the media \(n_{1}\) and \(n_{2}\) as shown in the figure. All rays with the angle of incidence \(i\) less than a particular value \(i_{m}\) are confined in the medium of refractive index \(n_{1}\). The numerical aperture (NA) of the structure is defined as \(\sin i_{m}\).
