Question
An electric power station that operates at 15 kV and uses a 15:1 step-up ideal transformer is producing 320 MW (Mega-Watt) of power that is to be sent to a big city which is located 270 km away with only 2.0% loss. Each of the two wires are made of copper (resistivity = 1.68 × 10-8 Ω.m). What is the diameter of the wires?
