Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main function of a transformer in a transmission system?
  • Step 1: Understand that a transformer is a device used in electrical systems.
  • Step 2: Know that the main job of a transformer is to change voltage levels.
  • Step 3: Learn that transformers can either increase (step-up) or decrease (step-down) voltage.
  • Step 4: Realize that changing voltage levels helps in transferring electricity more efficiently over long distances.
  • Step 5: Remember that higher voltage means less energy loss during transmission.
