Electricity is transmitted to distant places through wires, held above the ground by pylons.
The voltage is increased by Transformers, before sending through overhead wires.
This is done to reduce the effect of resistance in the wires. By ohms law, the loss of
power from the resistance of the lines is less at higher voltage.
The voltage is reduced by more transformers locally, before being sent to homes.
Locally the powerlines may be buried underground.
Alternating current (AC) was adopted as being best for power transmission. One reason
is that the voltage of DC cannot be changed using transformers.
What else can I help you with?
Why is electricity transmitted at 400 000 volts?
Electricity is transmitted at a high voltage of 400000 volts so that it may be able to travel for a long distance.
How is electricity transmitted through air?
Electricity can be transmitted through air using high voltage power lines. When electricity flows through these lines, it creates an electric field that allows the energy to travel through the air to its destination.
What is transmitted?
Electricity, audio, video, radar, morse code.
How is electricity transmitted along power lines?
trougth wires
How is electricity transmitted through a conducting wire?
Electricity is transmitted through a conducting wire by the movement of electrons. When a voltage is applied to the wire, it creates an electric field that pushes the electrons along the wire, allowing the flow of electricity from one point to another.
How can one change their ringback tone?
The ringback tone is created by the distant switch and transmitted in-band. Customised tones or music may be generated by the distant switch in place of the default tone.
Where are two distant places the Great Pyramid can be seen from?
moon
How electricity is transmitted to andaman?
No electricity is transmitted to Andaman from mainland.In fact it is generated at each island with the help of diesel generators according to need of the particular island.However, power is transmitted from Kalpong hydro electric project(North Andaman) to middle andamanwith transmission lines of 33 KV.
How does the sun convert energy into electricity?
by using photocells, the heat is absorbed and then transmitted into elkevcticty
How is electricity transmitted over large distances?
Via a height voltage electrical grid.
How is conductivity used in real life?
electric plugs because of the heat and electricity transmitted into it. Conductivity is really a element to transmit heat energy or electricity.
What two distant places can you see the great pyramid?
inner and outer space
