An electricity generating station needs to deliver 20MW of power to a city 1km away.
a) if resistance of the wires is 2and electricity costs 10 cents/kWh estimate what it costs for the utility company if step-up transformer boosts the voltage to 230kV.
b) repeat calculations if 22kV voltage was used

A generating station is producing 1.8 x 106 W of power that is to be sent to a small town located 5.3 km away. Each of the two wires that comprise the transmission line has a resistance per length of 4.4 x 10-2/km. (a) Find the power lost in heating the wires if the power is transmitted at 1800 V. (b) A 100:1 step-up transformer is used to raise the voltage before the power is transmitted. How much power is...
A generating station is producing 1.4 x 10^6 W of power that is to be sent to a small town located 6.5 km away. Each of the two wires that comprise the transmission line has a resistance per length of 3.2 x 10^-2/km. (a) Find the power lost in heating the wires if the power is transmitted at 1700 V. (b) A 100:1 step-up transformer is used to raise the voltage before the power is transmitted. How much power is...
