Voltage Drop Across Transmission Lines

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the voltage drop across power transmission lines with a resistance of 0.850 Ω and a current of 779 A over a distance of 9.85 km. Participants emphasize the importance of correctly interpreting the problem, suggesting that the resistance might be 0.850 ohms/m instead of total resistance. There is a call for users to show their workings and apply relevant equations to arrive at a solution. Additionally, the need for initial effort in problem-solving is highlighted. Accurate calculations are essential for determining the voltage at the other end of the transmission lines.

Homework Statement


A pair of power transmission lines each have a 0.850 Ω resistance and carry 779 A over 9.85 km. If the rms input voltage is 39.5 kV, calculate the voltage at the other end.

where is your own workings, relevant equations/concepts?
identify what is what first and foremost if you are stuck
 
Do you have the entire problem stated correctly? I think it might be 0.850 ohms/m instead.

Plus you need to put forth some effort first.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
