$A$ generator at a utility company produces $100 \, A$ of current at $4000 \, V$. The voltage is stepped up to $240,000 \, V$ by a transformer before it is sent on a high voltage transmission line. The current in the transmission line is ....... $A$.

  • A
    $3.67$
  • B
    $2.67$
  • C
    $1.67$
  • D
    $2.40$

$A$ step-down transformer connected to an $AC$ mains supply of $220 \, V$ is made to operate a $11 \, V, 44 \, W$ lamp. Ignoring power losses in the transformer,what is the current in the primary circuit? (In $A$)

$A$ small town with a demand of $800 \; kW$ of electric power at $220 \; V$ is situated $15 \; km$ away from an electric plant generating power at $440 \; V$. The resistance of the two-wire line carrying power is $0.5 \; \Omega/km$. The town gets power from the line through a $40,000-220 \; V$ step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.
