Chapter 6: Problem 27
A twin cable carries current between A and \(\mathrm{B}, 5\) miles apart. It is known to have one fault, i.e. a breakdown in the insulation between the two conductors, but not necessarily a short-circuit. A potential difference of \(200 \mathrm{~V}\) maintained across the ends at A produces a potential difference of \(50 \mathrm{~V}\) across the ends at B, while \(200 \mathrm{~V}\) across B produces \(20 \mathrm{~V}\) across \(\mathrm{A}\). Locate the fault.
