In a typical transmission line, the current I is very small and the voltage V is very large. A unit length of line has resistance R. For a power line that supplies power to 10,000 households, we can conclude that
A. IV = I 2R.
B. I = V/R.
C. IVI 2R.
E. I 2R = 0.
Answer: D

An eagle, with a wingspread of 2.0 m, flies due North at 8.0 m/s in a region where the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field is 0.2 × 10-4 T
What emf would be developed between the eagle's wing tips? (It has been speculated that this phenomenon could play a role in the navigation of birds, but the effect is too small, in all likelihood.)
