Question
State the principle of transformer working with the help of a diagram
Solution
It works on the principle of mutual induction. Here, a changing alternating current in primary coil produces a changing magnetic field, which, in turn, induces a changing alternating current in the secondary coil.

Long distance power transmissions
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. There the voltage is stepped down. It is further stepped down at distributing sub-stations and utility poles before a power supply of 240 V reaches our homes.
We need to step-up the voltage for power transmission, so that ______.
