Physics

A power line running East-West at 150kVAC carrying a75MWatt load is 10 meters overhead. A thief makes a 100 turn loopof insulated copper wire around a plastic garbage can with a 70cmdiameter. The voltage generated in this coil is used to chargebatteries for a fish-finder, lights and radio in his fish hut. Thebattery charger is electrically equivalent to a 5 ohmresistor.
a) [2] What orientation of the garbage pail winding willallow the greatest rate of electricity theft?
b) [4] Determine the voltage generated across thebattery charger.
c) [2] Residential power costs $0.10/kWh. What is thevalue of the power stolen per day.
d) [2] Why would metal can be a bad choice?

e) [4] Above the indication is that the other wire for theAC power transmission is very far away. In fact they both hang fromthe same structure. If each wire carries a 100amp current and theyare separated by 50cm, determine the force per unit length on thewires
