A high-voltage transmission line carries 1000 A at 700 kV for a distance of 100 miles. If the resistance per length in the wire is 0.5 Ω/mile, what is the power loss due to resistive losses?
Added by Belen M.
Step 1
The resistance per mile is given as \(0.5 \, \Omega/\text{mile}\), and the total distance is 100 miles. \[ R_{\text{total}} = 0.5 \, \Omega/\text{mile} \times 100 \, \text{miles} = 50 \, \Omega \] Show more…

A high-voltage transmission line carries 1000 A starting at 700 kV along a distance of 100 miles. If the resistance in the wire is 0.500 Ohms/mile, what is the power loss due to resistive losses?

One wire in a high-voltage transmission line carries 1,000 A starting at 560 kV for a distance of 270 mi. If the resistance in the wire is 0.500 Ω/mi, what is the power loss due to the resistance of the wire? MW

A typical coal-fired power plant produces $1000 \mathrm{MW}$ of electrical energy. Seven percent of the power is lost in a $500-\mathrm{kV}$ transmission line. (a) What's the line's resistance? (Note: This is actually the equivalent resistance of all the parallel lines in the network, so your answer should be quite small.) (b) What would be the power loss if the line were at $100 \mathrm{kV} ?$
