  • Q3. Why and which type of transformer do we use to reduce power loss during transmission?
  • Ans. 

    We use step-up transformers to reduce power loss during transmission by increasing voltage and decreasing current.

    • Step-up transformers increase voltage and decrease current, which reduces power loss during transmission.

    • This is because power loss is proportional to the square of the current, so reducing current reduces power loss.

    • For example, power is transmitted over long distances at high voltages (e.g. 500 kV) to red...

  • Q4. Explain Power Factor?
  • Ans. 

    Power factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power in an AC circuit.

    • Power factor is a measure of how efficiently electrical power is being used.

    • It ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 being the most efficient.

    • A low power factor can result in higher energy costs and equipment damage.

    • Capacitors can be used to improve power factor.

    • Power factor is important in industries where large amounts of electrical power are used.
