A 300 KW transformer reduces voltage to 120V and experiences a resistance of 2Ω/km.
Calculate the current required
P = VI
I = P/V
I = P/V = 300 000 / 120 = 2500A
Calculate the current experienced in the loop given the magnetic field is 2T and the torque is 5 N/m with the side lengths been 3cm and 7cm.
Torque = nAIB Sin Ꝋ
I = Torque / nAB Sin Ꝋ
Torque = nAIB Sin Ꝋ
I = Torque / nAB Sin Ꝋ
I = 5 / (1)(0.03 x 0.07)(2)
I = 1190.5 A
