QUESTION:
Power Transmission
What is the purpose of transmitting power at high voltages over long distances?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Almost all households throughout the world use alternating current because it can be easily stepped up or stepped down using a transformer if needed. Large currents lead to a loss of heat and energy, so it is economical to send power at high voltages instead and low current, over long distances since power is voltage times the current.
