Estimate the cost of energy lost to heat per hour per meter

Reference no: EM13706954

Question: A small city requires about 10 MW of power. Suppose that instead of using high-voltage lines to supply the power, the power is delivered at 120 V.

Part A: Assuming a two-wire line of 0.41-cm-diameter copper wire, estimate the cost of the energy lost to heat per hour per meter. Assume the cost of electricity is about 10 cents per kWh.

Having trouble with this physics question, can you please explain with the answer.
