Electrical energy is transmitted over large distances at high alternating voltage. Which of the following statements is correct?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Electrical energy is transmitted over large distances at high alternating voltage 
, therefore for a given power level, current (I) is lower and hence power loss ( 
) becomes low. At the receiving end, high voltage can be easily reduced using step down transformers.
