Question

Alternating current is transmitted to distant places at

• A. high voltage and low current.
• B. high voltage and high current.
• C. low voltage and low current.
• D. low voltage and high current.

Answer 1

The correct option is A high voltage and low current.

To prevent loss of energy as heat loss$=i^{2}Rt$, current is kept low.

Hence current is transmitted at high voltage and low current.
