Homework Statement



8.
An electric utility company supplies a customer's house from the main power lines (115 V) with two copper wires, each of which is 53.6 m long and has a resistance of 0.125 Ω per 294 m. Calculate the voltage at the customer's house for a load current of 110 A.

Correct : 1.10E+02 V

9. [1 point, 10 tries]
For this load current, calculate the power that the customer is receiving.

?




Homework Equations



P=V*I ?

The Attempt at a Solution



I tried subbing in voltage at the house, voltage before the power lines (so 112.5 and 115 ) and these don't work...

I would take the voltage at the customer's house that you already calculated mutiplied with the load current.
