Question

An electric bus operates by drawing current from two parallel overhead cables, at a potential difference of 600 V, and spaced 56 cm apart. 1. When the power input to the bus's motor is at its maximum power of 75 hp, what current does it draw? Express your answer in amperes. 2. When the power input to the bus's motor is at its maximum power of 75 hp, what is the attractive force per unit length between the cables? Express your answer in newtons per meter.

Step 1

Given: Power (P) = 75 hp = 55,950 watts Voltage (V) = 600 V We know that power is equal to voltage multiplied by current (P = VI). Therefore, Show more…
