JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 5th September Morning Slot - No. 22)

An electrical power line, having a total resistance of 2 $$\Omega $$, delivers 1 kW at 220 V. The efficiency of the transmission line is approximately :
85%
96%
72%
91%

Explanation

We know, $$\eta = {{{P_{out}}} \over {\left( {{P_{out}} + {P_{loss}}} \right)}} \times 100$$

Given, P= $$vi = {10^3}$$

$$ \therefore $$ $$i = {{1000} \over {220}}$$ = $${{50} \over {11}}$$ A

Power $$loss = {i^2}R = {\left( {{{50} \over {11}}} \right)^2} \times 2$$

$$ \therefore $$ efficiency $$ = {{1000} \over {1000 + {i^2}R}} \times 100 = 96\% $$
