$A$ step-down transformer has $50$ turns on the secondary and $1000$ turns on the primary winding. If the transformer is connected to a $220 \ V, 1 \ A$ $A$.$C$. source,what is the output current of the transformer?

$A$ step-up transformer has $300$ turns of primary winding and $450$ turns of secondary winding. The primary is connected to $150 \ V$ and the current flowing through it is $9 \ A$. The current and voltage in the secondary are:

$1\, MW$ power is to be delivered from a power station to a town $10\, km$ away. One uses a pair of $Cu$ wires of radius $0.5\, cm$ for this purpose. Calculate the fraction of ohmic losses to power transmitted if
$(a)$ power is transmitted at $220\, V$. Comment on the feasibility of doing this.
$(b)$ a step-up transformer is used to boost the voltage to $11000\, V$,power is transmitted,then a step-down transformer is used to bring voltage to $220\, V$.
Given: $\rho_{Cu} = 1.7 \times 10^{-8}\, \Omega \cdot m$.

$A$ current of $5 \text{ A}$ is flowing at $220 \text{ V}$ in a primary coil of a transformer. If the voltage produced in the secondary coil is $2200 \text{ V}$ and $50 \%$ of power is lost, then the current in the secondary coil will be (in $\text{ A}$)
