A small town with a demand of 800 KW of electric power at 220V is situated 15km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is `0.5Omega` per km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step down transformer at a substation in the town. The line power loss in the form of heat is

A

A cylindrical shape resistance is connected to a battery with emg 5V. The resistance per unit length varies as rho(x) = rho_(0) ((x)/(L))^(alpha) , where rho_(0) and alpha are constant and x is the distance from one end of the resistor. The magnitude or product rho_(0)L " is " 10 Omega , where L is the length of the resistor. If the thermal power generated by the resistor is 20W, then the value of alpha is
