An electric generator rated 12 kW, 2 kV distribute power through a cable of resistance 20\(\Omega\). Calculate the power loss in the cable.

A
120 w
B
360 w
C
720 w
D
2400 w
correct option: c

Power - IV

I = \(\frac{P}{V}\)

= \(\frac{12000}{2000}\)

I = 6A

Power loss = I\(^2\)R = 6\(^2\) x 20

= 720 W
