Solving for Attenuation Constant with Power Relations

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the attenuation constant, alpha, using two different formulas related to transmission lines. The first formula expresses alpha in terms of resistance, conductance, and characteristic impedance, while the second set involves the characteristic impedance and gamma, the propagation constant. A participant seeks clarification on how to equate alpha from the first equation with the values derived from the second set. The conversation highlights confusion regarding the absence of alpha in the second equations, prompting a request for guidance on the relationship between these formulas. The goal is to demonstrate the equivalence of alpha across the different equations.

Hello.
In fields and waves and transmission lines
We have a attenuation constant formula with power relations:
1-

Alpha = 1/2R0(R+G|Z0|^2)

2-Also we can calculate attenuation constant from these :

Z0= radical[(R+jwL) / (G+jwc)]
gamma = radical[(R+jwL)(G+jwc)]

I want show alpha from 1 equation is equal alpha from 2 equations.
What should i do ? Please help me.

Where is your Alpha in the second set of equations? I only see Z0 and gamma.
 
I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
