Electrical quantities — practice question

Cables carry electrical power from the output of the transformer at a power station to the input of a second transformer at a substation. The power at the output of the transformer at the power station is $400\text{ MW}$. Which situation provides the greatest power to the input of the transformer at the substation?

  • Apotential difference at power station transformer output: $200\text{ kV}$; diameter of cables: large
  • Bpotential difference at power station transformer output: $200\text{ kV}$; diameter of cables: small
  • Cpotential difference at power station transformer output: $400\text{ kV}$; diameter of cables: large
  • Dpotential difference at power station transformer output: $400\text{ kV}$; diameter of cables: small
