Homework Statement


A 750-MW power plant sends its power out on a 475,000 V high-voltage line. If the total resistance of the line is 0.65 Ω, what percentage of the power is lost due to resistive heating?


Homework Equations


i have NO idea but maybe...

P(loss)=I²R

P(loss)=^v²/R

P=V(V/R)

P=VI

V=IR

P=E/t


The Attempt at a Solution



Guess i don't know where to start

thanks i found I then i was able to get the Ploss=I^2(R)

got the answer Thanks!
