How many times do the heating losses of wires decrease when the voltage rises 100 times?

To estimate the decrease in losses for heating wires, we use the formula (we take into account that the power is constant): k = Qn / Qk = (In ^ 2 * R * t) / (Ik ^ 2 * R * t) = In ^ 2 / Ik ^ 2 = Uk ^ 2 / Un ^ 2 = (Uk / Un) ^ 2.

Variables: Uc (overvoltage) = 100Un (initial voltage).

Calculation: k = (Uc / Un) ^ 2 = (100Un / Un) ^ 2 = 10 ^ 4 times.

Answer: Losses for heating wires will decrease by 10 ^ 4 times.
