Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Power Factor - The power factor of an AC electrical power system is defined as the ratio of the real power absorbed by the load to the apparent power flowing in the circuit.
Power Transmitted - (Measured in Watt) - Power Transmitted is the amount of power that is transferred from its place of generation to a location where it is applied to perform useful work.
Resistivity - (Measured in Ohm Meter) - Resistivity is the measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of current through them.
Length of Underground AC Wire - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Underground AC Wire is the total length of the wire from one end to other end.
Area of Underground AC Wire - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Underground AC Wire is defined as the cross-sectional area of the wire of an AC supply system.
Line Losses - (Measured in Watt) - Line Losses is defined as the total losses occurring in an Underground AC line when in use.
