Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main purpose of a power transformer in a transmission system?
  • Step 1: Understand that power transformers are devices used in electrical systems.
  • Step 2: Know that they change the voltage of electricity.
  • Step 3: Learn that 'stepping up' means increasing the voltage.
  • Step 4: Realize that higher voltage allows electricity to travel longer distances.
  • Step 5: Remember that this helps reduce energy losses that happen when electricity moves through wires.
