Question

A hydroelectric dam produces power that is stepped up to a
potential difference of 240kV. There is a 0.60% loss of power
due to transmission through a wire with a total resistance of
0.50
Ω
How much power does the dam produce? Assume there is
no energy lost in the step-up transformer. * The actual answer
is 690MW (megawatts); I just don't know how to solve it.

You decide to “go green" and use an exercise bike to power your home appliances. Assume that your exercise bike is rigged to generate electrical power with 60% efficiency. In other words, only 6/10 of the power you develop can be used to store electrical energy for later use. Consider your 3500-Watt central AC unit. You need to run this unit for 4 hours each day during the summer. If you can develop a sustained power of 300 Watts on your exercise bike, how long would you have to work out just to keep the AC running on a summer day?
The transformer on a utility pole steps the voltage down from 10000 V to 220 V for use in a college science building. During the day, the transformer delivers electric energy at the rate of 10.0 kW. a) Assuming the transformer to be ideal, during that time, what are the primary and secondary currents in the transformer? b) If the transformer is only 90 % efficient (but still delivers electric power at 10.0 kW), how does its input current compare to the ideal case? c) At what rate is heat lost in the nonideal transformer? d) If you wanted to keep the transformer cool and to do this needed to dissipate half of the joule heating of part c) using water cooling lines (the other half is taken care of by air cooling), what should be the rate of flow (in liters per minute) of water in the lines?
