To solve the problem of power wastage in transmission cables, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding Power in Transmission Lines The power wasted in the transmission lines can be expressed using the formula: \[ P_{\text{wasted}} = I^2 R_c \] where: - \( P_{\text{wasted}} \) is the power wasted in the transmission cables, - \( I \) is the current flowing through the cables, ...
