You’re working on a new high-speed rail system. It uses 6000-horsepower electric locomotives, getting power from a sin-gle overhead wire with resistance 15 mΩ/km, at 25 kV potential relative to the track. Current returns through the track, whose resistance is negligible. Energy-efficiency standards call for no more than 3% power loss in the wire. How far from the power plant can the train go and still meet this stan
