 Paragraph for Q.No. 13 & 14
A thermal power plant produces electric power of 600 kW and 4000 V, which is to be transported to a
place 20 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 idealwith a power factor unity. All the
currents and voltages mentioned are rms values. [IIT JEE -2013]

13. In the method using the transformers, assume that the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that
in the secondary in the step-up transformer is 1 : 10. If the power to the consumers has to be supplied at
200 V, the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that in the secondary in the step-down transformer
is
(A) 200 : 1 (B) 150 : 1 (C) 100 : 1 (D) 50 : 1

(in %) during transmission is
(A) 20 (B) 30 (C) 40 (D) 50
