How high volt...

Question

How high voltage low current consumes less energy in wires with compared to the opposite?

Solution

You're confusing "high voltage" with "high voltage loss". Ohm's Law governs the lossof voltage across a resistance for a given current passing through it. Since the current is low, the voltage loss is correspondingly low.
