Question

A 240-kV power transmission line carrying 5.00×102 A is hung from grounded metal towers by ceramic insulators, each having a 1.00×109 -Ω resistance.  
(a) What is the resistance to ground of 100 of these insulators?
(b) Calculate the power dissipated by 100 of them. 
(c) What fraction of the power carried by the line is this?

Ground conductor
Insulators each provide
1.00 x 10° 2 Rosistance
240kV, 500A
Transmission Line
Figure 21.51 High-voltage (240-kV) transmission line carrying
5.00x 102 A is hung from a grounded metal transmission tower.
The row of ceramic insulators provide 1.00x10° 2 of resistance
each.
