SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the resistance of a conductor in a transmission line that dissipates 6,000 kWh of energy over a 24-hour period with a current of 100 amps. To find the resistance, one can convert the energy from kWh to kW by dividing by the time in hours, resulting in 250 kW. Using Ohm's Law (V = IR), the voltage can be calculated, and subsequently, the resistance can be determined using the formula R = V/I.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Ohm's Law (V = IR)
  • Knowledge of energy conversion (kWh to kW)
  • Familiarity with electrical units (amps, volts, ohms)
  • Basic principles of electrical transmission lines
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to convert kWh to kW effectively
  • Study the application of Ohm's Law in electrical circuits
  • Explore the characteristics of transmission line conductors
  • Investigate energy loss calculations in electrical systems
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, students in electrical engineering, and professionals involved in power transmission and energy efficiency optimization.

If a single conductor in a transmission line dissipates 6,000kWh of energy over a 24 hour period during which time the current in the conductor was 100 amps. What is the resistance in the conductor.

So could I just conver the kWh of energy to kW by dividing by 24 hours...than just use ohms law to find the resistance...?
