An electric power station is producing 1.2 x 10+3 W of power that is to be sent to a small town located 13 km away. Each of the two wires that comprise the transmission line has a resistance per kilometer of length of 5 x 10-2 Ohms /km. Find the power lost in heating the wires if the voltage is steped up from 150 V to 1400 V using an ideal transformer. Watts
