Question

An electric bus operates by drawing current from two parallel overhead cables, at a potential difference of 600 V, and spaced 42 cm apart. a. When the power input to the bus's motor is at its maximum power of 85 hp, what current does it draw? b. When the power input to the bus's motor is at its maximum power of 85 hp, what is the attractive force per unit length between the cables? N/m

Step 1

Given: Power input (P) = 85 hp = 85 * 746 W Potential difference (ΔV) = 600 V Use the formula: \[ I = \frac{P}{\Delta V} \] Substitute the values: \[ I = \frac{85 * 746}{600} \] \[ I = 105.7 \, A \] Show more…
