When electricity is transported from a power station to a city, the line voltage (relative to ground) is usually on the order of several hundred thousand volts. A power line cable has a radius of a = 2.0 cm, is made of aluminum with a resistivity of ρ = 2.7×10−8 Ω ⋅ m, and spans a distance of l = 100 km from a power station to a city. The city consumes 100 MW of power (so I2RL =100MW). (a) Find the resistance of the power cable between the station and the city(i.e.,between points A and B). (b) Suppose that the line voltage ∆VBC = 120 V. i. How much current is required to flow through the power line to deliver 100MW of power to the city? ii.
