Compute each part of given question:

Question: A generator at a utility company produces 1.18x10² A of current at 3.68x10³ V. The voltage is stepped up to 2.048x10⁵ V by a transformer before being sent on a high-voltage transmission line across a rural area in a city. Assume that the effective resistance of the power line is 26.0 and the transformers are ideal.

Part A: Determine the percentage of power lost in the transmission line.

Part B: What percentage of the original power would be lost in the transmission line if the voltage were not stepped up?

This is a physic question, reply as soon as possible. Thank you.
