Question
Two cities are 150 km apart. Electric power is sent from one city to another city through copper wires. The fall of potential per km is 8 volt and the average resistance per km is 0.5 Ω The power loss in the wire is
Options
A.19.2 W
B.19.2 kW
C.19.2 J
D.12.2 kW
Solution
Resistance = 150 × 0.5 = 75 Ω
I =
= 16 A
P = I2R = (16)2 × 75 W = 19200 = 19.2 kW
I =
= 16 AP = I2R = (16)2 × 75 W = 19200 = 19.2 kW
