Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Step-up transformers increase the voltage of the current that is produced by ____ in electrical power plants.
A
generators
B
direct currents
C
alternating currents
D
transformers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The GSU transformer is typically located at the power plant and steps up the voltage from the generator’s output voltage to the transmission voltage level. The GSU transformer works by taking the electrical output from the generator and increasing its voltage through a process of electromagnetic induction.

Detailed explanation-2: -A step-up transformer is one that increases voltage, whereas a step-down transformer decreases voltage. Assuming, as we have, that resistance is negligible, the electrical power output of a transformer equals its input.

Detailed explanation-3: -Step-up transformers increase the voltage from the input to the output of the transformer. In this configuration, the primary winding features fewer turnings than the secondary winding. This greater number of windings produces a higher voltage in the secondary side, increasing the output voltage.

Detailed explanation-4: -A. Increase the current and increase the voltage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Step-up/down transformers are used to produce the voltage as well as reduce energy loss during the power transmission stage. Step-up transformers are used in central power stations. They allow the stations to increase the voltage to the necessary level to produce electricity.
