Power lines also radiate em waves:
And the radiation should cause some energy loss.
How can we deduce logically whether the radiation loss for 50/60Hz power transmission lines are negligible? I know in low frequencies the loss is less but in this case the lines can be too long upto 2km. Is there a way to simplysimplfy this and formulate the radiation loss roughly? Should we start modelling it like a 60Hz 2km dipole antenna?
