Electricity is transmitted over long distances – |
| A. | it is fast |
| B. | there is less wastage of energy |
| C. | it is safer |
| D. | it is cheaper |
| Answer» B. there is less wastage of energy | |
|
Explanation: Long distance means higher wastage of energy. So High volt direct-current(HVDC) technology is used forgreater efficiency in very long distances. Electricity is transmitted at high voltages (110 kV or above) to reduce the energy lost in long-distance transmission. |
