Question
A generator produces 40 MW of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of $75 \mathrm{kV}$. What is the rms current in the transmission lines?
Step 1
Step 1: We start with the power formula, which is given by: \[P = V_{rms} \times I_{rms}\] where \(P\) is the power, \(V_{rms}\) is the root mean square voltage, and \(I_{rms}\) is the root mean square current. Show more…

A generator produces 41 MW of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of 78 kV . What is the rms current in the transmission lines?
(II) If 30 $\mathrm{MW}$ of power at 45 $\mathrm{kV}$ (rms) arrives at a town from a generator via $4.0 \Omega$ transmission lines, calculate (a) the emf at the generator end of the lines, and (b) the fraction of the power generated that is wasted in the lines.
