Hm... but if I have both U and I and they do not add up to the R I got by rho*length/Area? To be more exact, something like this

R = rho * l/A
R = U/I
rho = 0.017
l= 100km
A = 0.8 cm2
U = 150kV
I = 533.33 A
Therefore
R = rho * l/A
R = 0.017 Ohm per whatever * 100km/0.8cm
R = 212500 Ohm

HOWEVER
R = U/I
R = 150000V/533.33A
R = 281.25 Ohm

WHAT THE HECK? THE RESISTANCE CAN'T BE 212500 Ohm AND 281.25 Ohm AT THE SAME TIME!!!! *sob*
