CBSE Class 10 Answered
Why is electric power transferred at high voltage and low current to distant places?
Asked by Ra. | 23 Sep, 2015, 05:48: PM
Expert Answer
The power from the generating station is transmitted over long distances at a higher voltage to minimise the loss of energy in the form of heat in the line wires used for transmission.
Wire resistance causes losses in eletric power transmission.
For a given electric power, the current becomes low at a high voltage and therefore, the loss of energy due to heating (H = I2Rt) in the line wires becomes less.
