Two cities are 150 km apart. Electric power is sent from one city to another city through copper wires. The falI of potential per km is 8 volt and the average resistance per km is 0.5 Omega . The power loss in the wire is .....

Answer»

19.2 W
19.2 kW
19.2 J
12.2 kW

Solution :19.2 kW
TOTAL voltage drop V = `150 xx 8 = 1200` V
Total resistance of wire R=` 0.5 xx 150 = 75 OMEGA `
Power loss in the wire,
`(V^(2))/(R) = ((1200)^(2))/(75)`
= 19200 W = 19.2 kW
