The currents (Amperes) in the two cases are calculated as power/voltage: <span>

510000W / 12000V = 42.5 A 
510000W / 47000V = 10.85 A 

<span>And that the power wasted in the two cases is calculated as current^2 x resistance:

(42.5 A)^2 (2.5 Ohms) = 4,515.625 W 
(10.85 A)^2 (2.5 Ohms) = 294.30625 W 

<span>So the amount of power saved is the difference:
<span>4,515.625 - 294.30625  = 4221.32 Watts</span></span></span></span>

<span>This is the main reason why distribution grids aim to operate at the highest voltages possible.</span>

what is the main reason that attitudes are more often revealed in spoken rather than written language
pishuonlain [190]
It's a combination of all those things. probably because we are taught from an early age to write in an academic fashion, giving balanced arguments and a conclusion. When speaking from the heart, there is no opposing argument nor is there a conclusion, just emotion.

defon

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume per unit time flowing   will be conserved

a₁v₁  = a₂ v₂

π r₁² x v₁ = π r₂² x v₂

(0.9 x 10⁻²)² x .35 = ( .45 x 10⁻² )² x v₂

v₂ = 1.4 m / s
