Power Transmission
A generator produces 1.2 Giga watts of power, which it transmits to a town 7 miles away through power lines with a total resistance 10-5 ohms. How much power is lost in the lines if the energy is transmitted at 120 Volts?
V(t) = 24 sin(8( t)
+24
v t
P = IV Power delivered by generator through lines I = P/V = 1.2x109 W/120 V = 107 Amps in lines! P = I2R Power lost in lines = 1014 10-5 = 1 Giga Watt Lost in Lines! Large current is the problem. Since P=IV, use high voltage and low current to deliver power. If V = 12,000 Volts, only 1 Kilo Watt will be lost!

Transformers Question?
iron Transformers depend on a change in flux so they only work for alternating currents!
RL Circuit

Power
The voltage generator supplies power, and the resistor dissipates it. Capacitor and Inductor store and release energy. P = IV varies with values of R, C, L.
Purely resistive R=Z, only dissipation in R For R! Z, energy stored/extracted from LC

The current flows through the capacitor as it is being charged and discharged. If the charging and discharging are happening at rapid rate, the current is freely flowing through the capacitor equivalent to a wire!
U.W. Physics 104, Spring 2007
The current flow through the inductor is inhibited due to self inductance which is proportional to the rate of change of current. If the current flow is almost constant the inductor simply acts like a wire!
