Question 5 (12 marks)A Physics class is investigating power loss in transmission lines.The students construct a model of a transmission system. They first set up the model as shown in Figure 7. The model consists of a variable voltage AC power supply, two transmission lines, each of 4.0 Ω (total resistance = 8.0 Ω), a variable ratio transformer, a light globe and meters as needed. The purpose of the model is to operate the 4.0 V light globe.A variable ratio transformer is one in which the ratio of turns in primary windings to turns in secondary windings can be varied. The resistance of the connecting wires can be ignored.

Question 4 (8 marks)An electrician is installing a power supply to a yard located 500 m from a farmhouse in order to operate a 240 VRMS, 480 W light globe, as shown in Figure 4. The connecting wires have a total resistance, RT , of 40 Ω. At the farmhouse, the electrician provides the required input voltage, Vin, to the connecting wires for the light globe to operate at 240 VRMS and 480 W.
