A power of 100 kW (105W) is delivered to the other side of a city by a pair of power lines, between which the voltage is 12,000 V.
(a)Â Â Use the formula P=IV to show that the current in the lines is 8.3A.
(b)Â Â If each of the two lines has a resistance of 10 Ohms, show that there is a 83-V change of voltage along each line. (think carefully. This voltage change is along each line, not between the lines.)
(c)Â Â Â Show that the power expended as heat in both lines together is 1.38 kW (distinct form power delivered to customers).
(d)Â Â How do your calculations support the importance of stepping voltages up with transformers for long-distance transmission?
