Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
What is the primary reason for using high voltage in transmission lines?
Steps
Concepts
Step 1: Understand that electricity travels through wires called conductors.
Step 2: Know that when electricity flows through these conductors, some energy is lost as heat due to resistance.
Step 3: Realize that resistance is higher when the current (amount of electricity) is higher.
Step 4: Learn that using a higher voltage allows us to send the same amount of power with less current.
Step 5: Remember that less current means less energy is lost as heat due to resistance.
Step 6: Conclude that using high voltage in transmission lines helps to reduce energy losses.
