$A$ generator produces a current of $100 \, A$ at $4000 \, V$. The voltage is stepped up to $2 \times 10^5 \, V$ by a transformer before being sent on a high voltage transmission line of resistance $50 \, \Omega$. The percentage of power loss in the transmission line is (in $\%$)

  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.05$
  • C
    $1.25$
  • D
