A high-voltage direct-current generating station delivers power to a city. The generator output voltage is Vo = 400 kV, the city is represented by resistance RL = 1749 ohms, and each wire of the transmission line round-trip between the station and city is represented by resistance RTL = 159 ohms. What percentage of total power supplied by the generating station is consumed by the transmission line? Vo + RTL M RTL M RL M (city)
