Two cities are 150 km apart. electric power is sent from one city to another city through copper wires. The fall of potential per km is 8 V and the average resistance per km is 8 V and the average resistance per km is 0.5 space straight capital omega. The power loss in the wire is,

  • 19.2 W

  • 19.2 kW

  • 19.2 J

  • 12.2 kW


B.

19.2 kW

Potential difference (drop) between two cities = 150 x 8 = 1200 V

Average resistance of total wire = 0.5 x 150 =
Power loss, P =  
                  = 19.2 kW
