How can the sending-end and receiving-end voltages of a transmission line have the same magnitude?

The authors of Power Systems Analysis claim that \begin{align} |V_S| = |V_{R,NL}| \end{align} where VS is the sending-end voltage, VR is the receiving-end voltage, and VR,NL is the receiving-end voltage when there is no load. How can the magnitudes…

Why is the LM7812 getting hot in this circuit?

I have made this circuit. It works fine with normal Zener diode, however when I replaced it with the LM7812 it works fine but as time passes the regulator keeps getting very hot although the load is just 5mm LED. (I replaced it with a regulator…
