The energy supplied by a power line is determined by its load, not by its voltage. For a given energy demand by its load, the higher the liine's voltage, the lower the resulting load current.

Yes, by increasing the voltage in a power line, the amount of energy carried can be increased. This is because power (P) is the product of voltage (V) and current (I), and increasing the voltage while keeping the current constant will result in higher power carrying capacity. However, it is important to consider the limitations of the equipment and the safety considerations when increasing voltage levels.

How does the number of bulbs affect the amount of electrisaty in a circuit?
Adding additional lamps has no effect on the supply voltage supplied to you home. If the lamps are connected in series, then the sum of voltage-drops appearing across each lamp will equal the supply voltage. If the lamps are connected in parallel, then the voltage across each lamp will equal the supply voltage.
What is votage?
voltage is the amount of energy an electron carries
What are dangers of low voltage electricity?
please provide more detail, what do you mean low voltage? Also its not necessarily the voltage your worried about but the amount of current that can be supplied.
What is the error voltage in op amps?
The amount by which it deviates from ideal.
What current flows after a momentary voltage?
While there is a voltage, a current will flow - assuming there is a conducting path. The amount of the current can be calculated by Ohm's Law. That is, you divide voltage by resistance.
Since humans have been present the amount of sediments carried by rivers has?
Since human appeared, the amount of sediments carried by rivers has increased dramatically
The amount of current in a circuit can what by increasing the amount of resistance present in the circuit?
No it cant. Voltage = Current x Resistance. So at constant Voltage if the Resistance is increased, Current will reduce
What is the role of a breaker in a circuit?
the breaker makes sure that nothing in the circuit is damaged by an increased amount of amperage or voltage
How does current affects voltage?
In common, any application if voltage is increased current will be the small amount. at the same if voltage Decreased current will be increased...AnswerAccording to Ohm's Law, 'the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the applied voltage, provided certain conditions, such as temperature, remain constant'. So if you double the voltage, the resulting current will double; if you halve the voltage, the current will halve.
Can the amount of energy that can be carried by a power transmission line can be increased by raising the voltage using transformers?
Yes. Most power loss in transmission lines occurs due to "resistive" losses in the wire, power is dissipated as P=I x I x R. For a given power, P=I x V. Using a transformer, you can shift to higher voltage, lower current to minimize those losses. At the destination, another transformer may shift the voltage down and the current up--this is how high tension power lines transmit power over long distances.CommentIt is incorrect to say that a transformer 'shifts... current up'! Current is determined by the load, not by transformation ratio!
What is collision theory?
The collision theory is when atoms, molecules or ions bash together or collide together. Collision theory states that the rate of a reaction may be increased by : increasing pressure; raising the amount of heat energy; raising the concentration of the reactant and by introducing a catalyst.
What is the effect of the temperature on the vapour pressure?
When temperature is increased the amount of molecules evaporated is increasef and as a consequence condensation is also increased so vapour pressure increases.

Has the amount of uranium in Earth increased over geologic time Has the amount of lead in Earth increased?
The amount of uranium decreasesd, the amount of lead increased over geologic times.
What is the factors determining induced emf in dc machine?
In simple, number of turns of armature, intensity of magnet and speed of machine are major factor affecting induced emf in dc generator. If speed is increased, voltage will be increased simultaneously. Also Voltage is greater if number of turns are increased. Electro-magnet in the poles of a DC Generator also play an important role in the induced EMF. If intensity of magnet is exceeds, voltage also increased as well.
How did earths atmosphere change during precambrian time?
The amount of oxygen increased greatly
