Answer:
110000000 W
Explanation:
From the question, The power loss due to the resistance of the line
is given as,
P' = I²R...................... Equation 1
Where P' = power loss due to the resistance, I = current carried by the wire, R = resistance of the wire
But,
R = R'×d............ Equation 2
Where R' = Resistance per length of the the wire, d = distance of transmission.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
P' = I²R'd..................... Equation 3
Given: I = 1000 A, R' = 0.5 Ω/mi, d = 220 mi
Substitute into equation 3
P' = 1000²×0.5×220
P' = 110000000 W
Thus the power loss due to resistance = 110000000 W
