Question: A Δ/Δ connected transformer is connected to V/V connected transformer. Find the ratio of the VA rating of the V/V connected transformer and Δ/Δ connected transformer.

Solution: For a Δ/Δ connected transformer, the line voltage is the same as the phase voltage.

Let the line voltage be VL.

For a V/V connected transformer, the line voltage is √3 times the phase voltage.

Let the line voltage be √3VL.

The product of voltage and current gives the power rating of a transformer. Since the current in a transformer's primary and secondary windings is the same, the VA rating is proportional to the voltage rating. Thus, power formula in physics can be written as: \(P = V\times I \)

Therefore, the ratio of the VA rating of the V/V connected transformer to the Δ/Δ connected transformer is: (√3VL / VL) = √3

Hence, the VA rating of the V/V connected transformer is √3 times the VA rating of the Δ/Δ connected transformer.

          An astronomical telescope consists of two converging lenses. One of them of large aperture and large focal length is called objective lens and the other one, of smaller focal length and smaller aperture is called the eyepiece. It is used to see distant objects which are not seen clearly with naked eyes. The image formed by the objective lens acts as an object for the eyepiece and the final image produced by the eyepiece is magnified.

              Capacitors are manufactured with certain standard capacitances and working voltages. However, these standard values may not be the ones that are actually needed in a particular application. Two or more capacitors can be grouped in series or in parallel to achieve desired capacitance and voltage. When connected in series, the total capacitance decreases while the voltage rating increases, whereas in parallel connections, the total capacitance increases and maintains the same voltage rating. A capacitor stores energy in the electric field between its plates and stored energy is proportional to the square of the voltage and capacitance $U = \frac{1}{2}CV^2$, where symbols have their usual meanings.
              Two capacitors, one of $3 \ \mu$F and the other of $6 \ \mu$F, are connected in series in the circuit as shown in the figure, for a long time. }
