Answer to Question #118439 in Electric Circuits for Sam

Question

the mathematical comparisons of energy/power loss of transmitting electricity at
different voltages. Produce a qualitative, reasoned argument which identifies why.

Answer 1

Answer: The power loss in the line is calculated by the formula $P=I^2\times R$ . The lower the current, the lower the power dissipation in the line. You can reduce the current and save power only by increasing the voltage, according to $P=U\times I.$
