    How do transformers affect power transmission in a circuit?

    Thanks for the second reply! So I know that option B is the correct answer to the question. I have a last question: Am I correct to say that since current flows from a high potential (X) to low potential (Y), so the voltage across the power line at X is greater than the voltage across the...

    How do transformers affect power transmission in a circuit?

    Thanks for the reply! So am i correct to say the current decreases along XY since it is going to meet some resistance. Thus, B is true. However, by Ohm's Law (V=RI), the voltage across at X should be greater than that across at Y, making C also true? I am sorry if I misunderstood somewhere.

    How do transformers affect power transmission in a circuit?

    Homework Statement As attached. Homework Equations - The Attempt at a Solution I think P is a step-up transformer while Q is a step-down transformer. Does the current and/or voltage change during XY? I know the answer is either B or C, but I do not the explanation. Can anyone...

    Calculating Mass of Helium in a Balloon

    Homework Statement A balloon 20 m in diameter is filled with helium at a gauge pressure of 2.0 atm. A man is standing in a basket suspended from the bottom of the balloon. A restraining cable attached to the basket keeps the balloon from rising. The balloon (not including the gas it...
