Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which type of transformer is commonly used in power distribution systems?
  • Step 1: Understand what a transformer is. A transformer is a device that changes the voltage of electricity.
  • Step 2: Know the two main types of transformers: step-up transformers increase voltage, and step-down transformers decrease voltage.
  • Step 3: Identify the purpose of power distribution systems. They deliver electricity from power plants to homes and businesses.
  • Step 4: Recognize that electricity is transmitted at high voltages to reduce energy loss over long distances.
  • Step 5: Learn that step-down transformers are used in distribution systems to lower these high voltages to safe levels for consumers.
