To solve the problem of power wasted in transmission cables and how to reduce it, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Power Delivered The power `P` is delivered to a device through transmission cables with resistance `R_c`. The relationship between power, voltage, and current is given by the formula: \[ P = V \times I \] where `V` is the voltage across the device and `I` is the current flowing through it. ### Step 2: Calculate the Current ...
