Problem 65

An ac generator provides emf to a resistive load in a remote factory over a two-cable transmission line. At the factory a stepdown transformer reduces the voltage from its (rms) transmission value $V_{t}$ to a much lower value that is safe and convenient for use in the factory. The transmission line resistance is 0.30 \Omega/cable, and the power of the generator is 250 $\mathrm{kW} .$ If $V_{t}=80 \mathrm{kV},$ what are (a) the voltage decrease $\Delta V$ along the transmission line and (b) the rate $P_{d}$ at which energy is dissipated in the line as thermal energy? If $V_{t}=8.0 \mathrm{kV},$ what are $(\mathrm{c}) \Delta V$ and $(\mathrm{d}) P_{d} ?$ If $V_{t}=0.80 \mathrm{kV},$ what are $(\mathrm{e}) \Delta V$ and $(\mathrm{f}) P_{d} ?$

Problem 66

In Fig. $31-35,$ let the rectangular box on the left represent the (high-impedance) output of an audio amplifier, with $r=1000 \Omega$ . Let $R=10 \Omega$ represent the (low-impedance) coil of a loudspeaker. For maximum transfer of energy to the load $R$ we must have $R=r,$ and that is not true in this case. However, a transformer can be used to "transform" "resistances, making them behave electrically as if they were larger or smaller than they actually are. (a) Sketch the primary and secondary coils of a transformer that can be introduced between the amplifier and the speaker in Fig. $31-35$ to match the impedances. (b) What must be the turns ratio?
