Anelectric power is transmitted over long distance through conducting wire at high voltage and low current because
- A
it causes less amount of power loss
- B
it reduces the possibility of theft
- C
High voltage waves travel faster
- D
generators produce electrical energy at high voltage
Option A is correct since high voltage and low current will result in a very low amount of power loss
Option B is incorrect since high voltage transmission does not reduce electricity theft since current is low
Option C is incorrect since voltages are not waves
Option D is incorrect since generators do not need electrical energy, they need mechanical energy to generate electrical energy.
