An ideal transformer with a purely resistive load operates at 12 kV on the primary and supplies energy at 120 V. The houses served consume 60 kW on average. The resistive load Rₛ in the secondary circuit is mΩ.

Question

Accepted Answer

240. On the secondary Vₛ=120 V delivers P=60 kW. Rₛ=(Vₛ²)/P=(120²)/(60000)=0.24 Ω=240 mΩ.
