Find the power lost in heating the wires

Reference no: EM13715026

Compute all parts of given problem:

Problem: A generating station is producing 1.7 x 10⁶ W of power that is to be sent to a small town located 5.7 km away. Each of the two wires that comprise the transmission line has a resistance per length of 5.1 x 10^-2 km.

Part A: Find the power lost in heating the wires if the power is transmitted at 1300 V.

Part B: A 100:1 step-up transformer is used to raise the voltage before the power is transmitted. How much power is now lost in heating the wires?

I want help to find the power lost in heating the wires if the power is transmitted at 1300 V.
