I was referring to the voltage across the wires compared to the voltage across the 2ndary coil of the transformer. The voltage across the wires was higher and that wasnt possible because as you said the power dissipated as heat is limited by the power supplied by the generator.
Hmmm...thx a...
@Averagesupernova: Yes i understand and tht's wut i said. The voltage across the lines (as in both wires) is the voltage across the source minus the voltage across the consumer-end. I was referring to another rule that called the voltage divider rule which applies when resistors are in series. I...
@Averagesupernova: I don't see where I'm applying them incorrectly. What i mean by the voltage across is the lines is the TOTAL voltage across the lines so tht's the voltage across the 'send' wire + the voltage across the 'coming back' wire.
@mgb_phys: My physics professor told me this too...
Ok when they taught me about this they kept saying the power loss = I2*R
Well isn't the power loss also = V2 / R
Now before you give me the regular answer of "this V is not the same as this V", i understand. However, from what i know from the voltage divider rule is that the V across the...
Ok i have a question regarding the same thing. Consider this:
The variables:
Ps - the power supplied by the generator
V1 - the voltage in the primary coil of the transformer
V2 - the voltage in the secondary coil of the transformer
I1 - the current in the primary coil
I2 - the current in...
