Question

High tension wires are wires having

• A. Low resistance and large thickness used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances
• B. High resistance used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances
• C. High resistance and small thickness used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances
• D. Low resistance and small thickness used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances
• E. Small thickness used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Low resistance and large thickness used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances

They are thick wires of low resistance used for transferring large amount of current electricity over long distances. These wires are made by thick by taking large number of thin copper wires & twisting them to form a thick cable.
