An electric power line having total resistance of 2 , delivers 1 kW of power at 250 V. The percentage efficiency of transmission line is .

  1. 96.9
  2. 92.5
  3. 86.5
  4. 100

Answer

(1) 96.9

Solution

Current in the line: I = PV = 1000250 = 4 A

Power lost in the line: Ploss = I2R = 42 2 = 32 W

Power fed into the line: Pin = 1000 + 32 = 1032 W

= PoutPin 100 = 10001032 100
