Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of a transformer in a distribution system?
  • Step 1: Understand that electricity is generated at a high voltage to travel long distances efficiently.
  • Step 2: Know that when electricity reaches neighborhoods or homes, it needs to be at a lower voltage for safety and usability.
  • Step 3: Learn that a transformer is a device that changes the voltage of electricity.
  • Step 4: Realize that in a distribution system, transformers specifically lower (or 'step down') the high voltage to a safe level for consumers.
  • Step 5: Conclude that this process allows homes and businesses to use electricity safely and effectively.
