A power plant produces 500 MW of power that is transmitted at a current 2 points
of 20.0 kA. The resistance in the transmission wire is 0.20 ohms. Show
how the percentage of power lost in the transmission line is 16%. *​

Respuesta :

The percentage of the power lost against total power produced is 16%.

What is electric power?

Electric power is the energy transmitted or dissipated over a given period of time.

The power lost during the power transmission is calculated as follows;

[tex]P = I^2R\\\\ P = (20 \times 10^3)^2 \times 0.2\\\\ P = 8 \times 10^7 \ W[/tex]

The percentage of the power lost against total power produced is calculated as follows;

[tex]= \frac{P_{lost}}{P_{total}} \times 100\%\\\\ = \frac{8\times 10^7}{500 \times 10^6} \times 100\%\\\\ = 16\%[/tex]
