Question:

A generator produces \(250 \mathrm{~kW}\) of electric power at \(7.2 \mathrm{kV}\). The current is transmitted to a remote village through wires with a total resistance of \(15 \Omega\).

a. What is the power loss due to resistance in the wires?

b. What is the power loss if the voltage is increased to \(30 \mathrm{kV}\) ?
