Question
One wire in a high-voltage transmission line carries 1 000 A starting at 620 kV for a distance of 220 mi. If the resistance in the wire is 0.500 Ω/mi, what is the power loss due to the resistance of the wire?

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
