Question

2.[1pt Electrical power is typically transmitted over long distances at very high voltage, up to 1000 kV (for reasons that we will explore in the next problem). Suppose that bird a lands on a power line carrying 2690A, as seen in the figure below If the line has 3.08x10Ohm resistance per meter and the bird's feet are 3.60cm apart, what is the magnitude of the potential difference between the bird's feet? Answer: Incorrect, tries 2/6 Hint: Simple enough to calculate (units may be enough to guide you!) but the physics is worth thinking about. That's a lot of current flowing through those lines, and they may be at "high voltage". But look at Submit All Answers Last Answer: 19.23 v the number you got - do you think the bird is in danger? (What WOULD be dangerous for this bird in this situation?)
