Chapter 9, Problem 61P
SI. A physics student has a single-occupancy dorm loom. The student lias a small refrigerator that runs with a current of 3.00 A and a voltage of 110 V, a lamp that contains a 100-YV bulb, an overhead light with a 60-W bulb, and various other small devices adding up to 3.00 W. (a) Assuming the power plant that supplies 110 V electricity to the dorm is 10 km away and the two aluminum transmission cables use 0-gauge wire with a diameter of 8.252 mm, estimate the percentage of the total power supplied by the power company that is lost in the transmission, (b) What would be the result is the power company delivered the electric power at 110 kV?
