A high-voltage transmission line carries 1 000 A at 700 kV for a distance of 100 miles. If the resistance per length in the wire is 0.5 Ω/mile, what is the power loss due to resistive losses?

50 MW

Explanation:

We are given;

Current = 1000A

Voltage = 700 KV

Resistance per length = 0.5 Ω/mile

Length = 100 miles

The total resistance would be;

R=0.5 Ω/mile x 100 miles = 50Ω.

Now, the current is the same throughout the wire, but the voltage is only at the beginning of the line, and thus the current for the power equation is;

P = I²R

So;

P=(1000A)² x 50Ω.= 50,000,000W = 50MW

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
