A high-voltage transmission line with a resistance of 0.31 /km carries a current of 1 000 A.

Question:

A high-voltage transmission line with a resistance of 0.31 /km carries a current of 1 000 A. The line is at a potential of 700 kV at the power station and carries the current to a city located 160 km from the station.
(a) What is the power loss due to resistance in the line?
(b) What fraction of the transmitted power does this loss represent?
