High tension wires are wires having_____.


Open in App
Solution

High tension wires

  1. High tension wires are the wires of low resistance used to transmit high-voltage electrical energy over long distances.
  2. For low resistance, the production of heat is negligible when current is transferred through it.
  3. The wire is made by accumulating many wires insulated by each other. Which will be provided a large surface area, which reduces the resistance.

So, high tension wires are wires having low resistance.
