A power plant produces 931 MW to supply a city 40 km away.
Current flows from the power plant on a single wire with resistance
50 mΩ/km, through the city, and returns via the ground, which has
negligible resistance. At the power plant the voltage between wire
and ground is 268.0 kV. Find the fraction (in percent) of
the power lost in transmission.
