The Vogtle power utility plant, near Augusta, GA., supplies energy to your town through high transmission lines (700,000 Volts). You have a television in your home that requires 120 Volts to operate. A local manufacturing plant requires 20,000,000 Volts. How can the utility company use a single set of transmission lines to provide energy to meet such diverse needs?

Answer:

See the explanation below

Step-by-step explanation:

By means of an electrostatic machine called Transformer, there are various types of transformers from those used for commercial and residential applications to those used at the industrial level. Its working principle is the same which is called induction. The current enters through an electric coil (copper spiral) called primary winding, this current generates a magnetic field, and if a second winding is placed inside the first, an electric current is generated in the second winding, that is called induction. If the second winding has half the turns of the first winding, The half of the original voltage will be obtained. This allows by means of different electrical transformers located in different places of the transmission of electrical energy, it can be reduced from a voltage of 700,000 volts to 120 volts
