An electric power station is producing 1.8 x 10+3 W of power that is to be sent to a small town located 10 km away. Each of the two wires that comprise the transmission line has a resistance per kilometer of length of 4 x 10-2 Ohms /km. Find the power lost in heating the wires if the voltage is stepped up from 150 V to 1500 V using an ideal transformer.
Please indicate all the steps involved in solving the problem as well as an explanation.
