A $50-\mathrm{mH}$ inductor is connected across a $10-\mathrm{V} \mathrm{rms} \mathrm{AC}$ generator, and a $2.0-\mathrm{mA}$ rms current flows. What's the generator frequency?
Power is generated at 24 $\mathrm{kV}$ at a generating plant located 85 $\mathrm{km}$ from a town that requires 65 $\mathrm{MW}$ of power at 12 $\mathrm{kV}$ . Two transmission lines from the plant to the town each have a resistance of 0.10$\Omega / \mathrm{km} .$ What should the output voltage of the transformer at the generating plant be for an overall transmission efficiency of 98.5$\%$ , assuming a perfect trans- former?
