61. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm room. The student has a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A

and a voltage of 110 V, a lamp that contains a 100-W bulb, an overhead light with a 60-W bulb, and various other small devices adding up to 3.00 W. (a) Assuming the power plant that supplies 110 V electricity to the dorm is 10 km away and the two aluminum transmission cables use 0-gauge wire with a diameter of 8.252 mm, estimate the percentage of the total power supplied by the power company that is lost in the transmission. (b) What would be the result is the power company delivered the electric power at 110 kV?

Answer:

Part a)

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

Explanation:

As we know that total power used in the room is given as

P = P_1 + P_2 + P_3 + P_4

here we have

P_1 = (110)(3) = 330 W

P_2 = 100 W

P_3 = 60 W

P_4 = 3 W

P = 330 + 100 + 60 + 3

P = 493 W

Part a)

Since power supply is at 110 Volt so the current obtained from this supply is given as

110\times i = 493

i = 4.48 A

now resistance of transmission line

R = \frac{\rho L}{A}

R = \frac{(2.8 \times 10^{-8})(10\times 10^3)}{\pi(4.126\times 10^{-3})^2}

R = 5.23 \ohm

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48)^2(5.23)

P = 105 W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{105}{493} \times 100

percentage = 21.3%

Part b)

now same power must have been supplied from the supply station at 110 kV, so we have

110 \times 10^3 (i ) = 493

i = 4.48\times 10^{-3} A

now power loss in line is given as

P = i^2 R

P = (4.48 \times 10^{-3})^2(5.23)

P = 1.05 \times 10^{-4} W

Now percentage loss is given as

percentage = \frac{loss}{supply} \times 100

percentage = \frac{1.05 \times 10^{-4}}{493} \times 100

percentage = 2.13 \times 10^{-5}%

Yes it does !  Uh huh. Right you are. Truer words are seldom written.

You have quoted the law quite accurately but also incompletely.
