The large-scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy over long distances is done with the use of transformers. The
voltage output of the generator is stepped-up. It is then transmitted over long distances to an area sub-station near the consumers.

EBD_7336
SP 2020-2 Physics
1. Option (a) is correct.

According to Gauss's theorem
Σq en
f=
ε0
So, net charge enclosed by the surface is zero if the net electric flux through a closed surface is zero.
Note

Electric field in ∫ E . dA is complete electric field. It may
be partly due to charge within the surface and partly due to
charge outside the surface. If there is no charge enclosed in

the Gaussian surface, then ∫ E . dA = 0.
The electric field due to a charge outside the Gaussian
surface contributes zero net flux through the surface because
as many lines due to that charge enter the surface as leave it.
2. Option (c) is correct.
Potential energy of a dipole in external field U is

U = – P ⋅ E
For stable equilibrium q = 0°
U = –p E cos 0° = –pE

A thermal power plant produces electric power of 600 kW at 4000 V, which is to be transported to a place 20 km away from the power
plant for consumers' usage. It can be transported either directly with a cable of large current carrying capacity or by using a
combination of step-up and step-down transformers at the two ends. The drawback of the direct transmission is the large energy
dissipation. In the method using transformers, the dissipation is much smaller. In this method , a step-up transformer is used at the
plant side so that the current is reduced to a smaller value. At the consumers' end, a step-down transformer is used to supply power
to the consumers at the specified lower voltage. It is reasonable to assume that the power cable is purely resistive and the
transformers are ideal with power factor unity. All the currents and voltages mentioned are rms values.
52. In the method using the transformers, assume that the ratio of the number of turns in the primary to that in the secondary in
the step-up transformer is 1 : 10. If the power to the consumers has to be supplied at 200 V, the ratio of the number of turns in
